A subsequent body-off refurbishment was carried out in 2003, which consisted of a repaint of the Plum Mist exterior, reupholstering the Parchment interior, and installing a four-speed manual transmission in place of the factory automatic.
The replacement 400ci V8 was bored and stroked to 455ci by McGunegill Engine Performance in 2020.
Equipment includes an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a Cold Case aluminum radiator, and chrome valve covers.
A Hurst four-speed manual transmission was fitted in place of the factory three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic TH-400 during the 2003 refurbishment.
Finished from the factory in Plum Mist (M), the body was removed from the frame and placed on a rotisserie before being repainted in 2003 by GTO Goodies.
Equipment includes an Ivory Cordova vinyl top, a driver’s side mirror, a fender-mounted antenna, and chrome bumpers, headlight surrounds, and sill guards.
Optional 14″ Rallye wheels are wrapped in Coker Redline Radial tires that was fitted in 2026.
Wonder Touch power steering and brakes were also optioned from the factory, and the power steering system was refreshed in 2020 with a rebuilt pump and steering box.
The interior was reupholstered in its factory shade of Parchment (224) vinyl with black carpets during the 2003 refurbishment.
The car is equipped with front bucket seats, a full-length center console, an AM radio, faux-wood trim, and an aftermarket Hurst shifter.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer, a hood-mounted tachometer with a 5,100-rpm redline, a quartz clock, and auxiliary gauges.
The five-digit odometer was reset to zero during the refurbishment and now shows just over 10k miles.
Total mileage is unknown.
