GarageScout Take

The trim tag confirms its original Matador Red and red-and-silver upholstery, an uncommon exterior colour among observed examples. The later 700R4 conversion is accompanied by a spare rebuilt 283 and Powerglide.

Strengths

Engine rebuild completed in the early 2000s, with an Edelbrock intake manifold installed.
Monster Transmissions-built 700R4 installed around 2015.
Current ownership dates to 2013.
Power-operated convertible top and power-adjustable front seat.

Watch For

Total mileage is unknown; the five-digit odometer shows 4,600 miles.
The car was repainted in its original Matador Red under previous ownership, with paint imperfections noted throughout.
The Florida title is stamped “Copy” and carries an Exempt odometer notice.
One button on the front seat upholstery does not match the others.
