Under the hood of this particular model is a 4.6-liter V8 engine that produces 279 horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels via a manual transmission. This vehicle was based on a ’58 Corvette and recently received a complete restoration. The frill-free cabin boasts six instruments, a sporty three-spoke steering wheel, and grey upholstery.
