A 59AB flathead V8 was bored.060-inch over and stroked 1/8-inch by Adams Custom Engines in 1997, using a Mercury crankshaft, high-volume oil pump, hardened valve seats, and a Stromberg 97 carburetor to reach 292ci. The 1990s refurbishment also included cream-and-black refinishing, a replacement differential in 1996, and a three-speed manual fitted with an 11-inch clutch disc. Previously listed on Bring a Trailer in September 2026, bidding reached $15,800 without meeting the reserve.
