Mercury V8 with 200HP and other options included the Big Block 332/225HP 2 BBL 8 & the rarely optioned power option of the 352/300HP 4 BBL 'Police Interceptor' V8 which was tuned to produce maximum power and torque at a low rpm with a top speed of over 112mph such as this particular example boasts along with the also rarely optioned top-of-the-line 3 speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission along with the very desirable Power assisted four wheel drum brakes, power steering, power windows, power seat & air conditioning!

To operate the roof seven electric motors are required with the biggest in the trunk which operates two very long screw jacks that raise and lower the roof. Thirteen switches, 10 solenoids, 8 circuit breakers & over 600 feet of wiring serve the electric motors! Needless to say this roof operates exactly as it should having been thoroughly overhauled as seen in our online video.

The car also has a rebuilt power steering control kit and pump. Restoration receipts starting at over $22K for one receipt alone from 2015, along with other related restoration and service records for much more pay testament to this car extensive and complete preventive service & restoration history and boasts service records dating back to 1982, which also confirming the same ownership for all
