Garnet Red covers the straight steel slabs on this car, which are all minding their gaps very well and it's really nicely buffed and has a glass like presentation with only a few minor faults upon close inspection. Also adorning the exterior are dual wide black painted on racing stripes, which…. well, race up the long hood of this pony car stopping at the front windscreen, and continue on the small rear deck and cool spoiler atop. No rust and a spiffy black vinyl top is on.
A swing of the doors and we can see well preserved black embossed vinyl door panels, and seats in the form of sleek high back headrest buckets in front, and a 2 plus 2 rear bench. Racing up the center is a pristine center console which houses the Hurst shifter, and a bevy of 4 white faced gauges in it just below the dash. Some wood grained appliqué frames the shifter, and is also used on the various portions of the dash and glovebox. Speaking of the dash, all original and fairly clean, and fronted by a wood appliqué center rimmed steering wheel. The dash is raked inward as it glides towards the floor and has the rally gauge package within its confines. New black carpet, and nicely preserved tight black headliner are all presenting as showroom. Also a shout out to the trunk too as it sports a new checkered tweed vinyl liner, and has correct spare and jack setup. Power steering and power brakes are noted as well as the correct push button AM radio are all installed on this X33 car.
Under the reverse scooped hood residing within a pristine engine bay is a date correct, (B189), casting date and 3956618 casting number 302ci V8. Unfortunately the stamping pad has been machined down during the engine rebuilt, however a partial VIN stamping is present on the alternate stamping location, just above the oil filter housing. It has a correct Holley List# 3923289DZ 4-barrel carburetor, however the carb does carry a later assembly stamping date of 943, and a correct Z28 intake manifold, casting number 3932472. A date correct but not original, (P9B12B, February 12th 1969), Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission is on back, and this pushes power to a 12 bolt rear with 3.73 posi gears. This rear axle carries the correct casting number 3894860NF, correct casting date, B129, and correct stamping codes, BU0225G. Rust free exhaust manifolds from the factory flow out of a beautifully restored Chevrolet Orange painted block, snazzy cast aluminum ribbed valve covers, and a correct air black cleaner housing. All hoses are nice and supple, and everything else is gleaming and screaming for attention under this hood. No rust or corrosion or even a speck of dirt!
