I did major restoration on this car while working in Phoenix, AZ. Originally a gold on white, bucket seat console car with a 383-4 barrel and a 727 automatic transmission, 80k miles on the clock. The owner wanted curb appeal, so the exterior was made perfectly straight and painted bright red with a clear coat and the interior was redone in black. The car was completely disassembled and put on a rotisserie to access all areas underneath. While not a completely stock restoration, most components were restored as close to original configuration as possible.

| Rebuilt date-coded alternator, black phosphate plated camber adjusting bolts on fender apron. |
 |
| Note correct blackout treatment on radiator yoke, also correct paint application on the grill specific to 500 model. |
 |
| Restored console, dash, new carpet, fancy AM radio. Yes, I see that the steering wheel is cracked.... |
 |
| Legendary door panels and seat covers installed. |
 |
| Blue and white paint was reapplied in original pattern to the 742 3rd member. TTI exhaust pipes installed. |
