Frame-off refurbishment included chassis, suspension, steering, and braking work under current ownership. The original 396 is absent, replaced by a rebuilt Corvette-sourced big-block reported as a 427 in the listing highlights and as a 454 in the additional information, paired with an M20 four-speed manual transmission. It was acquired as a long-stored Arkansas project in 2019 and refinished in Tropical Turquoise over reupholstered two-tone turquoise vinyl.
