It also has all new weather stripping  throughout the car.

According to the date code on the block, he engine compartment is now  housing a 1966 389cu.in. with a Tri-Power setup. Both the engine and transmission have been rebuilt with very little miles on them. (Please see the "Mechanical"  section below for more details.)

The  matching red-line spare tire is mounted on a new 6 hole rim which is the same as the other four rims on the vehicle.

The rims, enter caps, rim rings and lug nuts  are all in great shape with no scratches. Mounted on these new wheels are new Firestone F70-15 redline tires. (The spare tire also matches.) The redline tires look  great with the color of the car.
