Details

Code '4K' 396cid/375hp matching numbers engine and 4-speed manual transmission. Authorities state that 12 convertibles with this engine were produced and only about half have the desirable factory 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter. Of the handful built, most were destined to a fate of drag racing and met with an early demise. This example is painted white with blue interior and has been enhanced with Indy 500 decals with the blue rally stripe. Although this was not an official pace car, it was ordered to replicate an Indy 500 pace car, presumably by a Chevrolet dealer. This car has less than 98,050 original miles and has been cared for throughout the years. There is little to no rust. The car was enhanced with a 10-bolt 4.11 posi-traction and sits confidently on 15' Rally wheels. Power steering and brakes make it as easy to drive as a new car, except with the massive power and great looks. The original matching numbers engine was professionally rebuilt by a qualified engineer. The car runs and drives great. It starts easy and every time. It has been regularly driven about 1,000 miles a year without fail. The original Protect-O-Plate and owner's manual are included with the car.
