My dad bought this car in 1986 from the original owner. He drove it for about 4 years before a body off restoration project begun. Vehicle has been stored inside and covered at all times. Can youbelieve?!...it still has the original interior and top!Originally, itcame with a 421, but the original motor had an issueso wasreplaced with a 389.

SorryI was wrong, this car did not come with a 421. It still has the original motor which is a 389, this is confirmed by the Protect-O-Plate WE 360221, which matches the block. We never verified, just thought it was a 421 due to badge on center console. I can send photo's toanyone to confirm.
