AI Listing Summary
This two-owner classic boasts the rare LT1 engine option, a 4-speed manual transmission, and recent comprehensive mechanical rebuilds, making it a compelling package for enthusiasts.

Condition

The car has had two owners and the odometer reads 57,384 miles. It features the desirable LT1 engine option, with the 350/255 V-8 rebuilt at 52,454 miles. The transmission is a 4-speed manual with a Hurst shifter. Mechanicals have seen recent attention with comprehensive front and rear-end rebuilds, including springs, shocks, tie rod ends, brakes, and master cylinder. The exterior is Code 979 Targa Blue and the interior is black. A new GM wiring harness has been installed. While it has a rebuilt engine and recent mechanical work, the description does not explicitly state it is in pristine or outstanding condition. It mentions a binder with photos of the rebuild process, suggesting it has undergone significant work and is in very good overall condition.
