Starting in 1975 despite its generous cylinder capacity. the 454 was essentially produced only a humble 215 hp SAE due to the stifling anti-pollution equipment fitted. Cruise control was now standard.
It was the Excalibur Series III. introduced in 1975. that really caused the production figures to shoot up and the selling price also. This was fundamentally a Series II car that had been modified to conform with new homologation requirements and thus it retained the traditional style but featured more enveloping fenders/wings. The chassis was a new one. although still a ladder-type affair. reinforced by a central 'X'-shaped member and featuring a removable bolt-on front section. Wheelbase had once more been stretched to 112 inches and the whole new chassis assembly housed an equally new engine. a Chevy Mk IV 454 cu. inch (7500 cc) big-block V8 which. despite its generous cylinder capacity. produced only a humble 215 hp SAE due to the stifling anti-pollution equipment fitted. The "Phaeton" version continued to sell in greater numbers than the "Roadster". as had indeed been the case since 1969. and even though production did remain restricted (even by a specialist manufacturer's standards) Excalibur broke a new sales record in 1977 with 237 units. followed by an encouraging increase of from 263 cars in 1978 to 367 in 1979. This impressive figure related to a production rate of more than one automobile per working day and Steve Stevens remembers this stage of production in these terms: "We were building one car every six hours on average. and at such a rate we couldn't maintain the standards of build quality that we wanted to. We had to abandon this infernal production rate and come back to a more reasonable figure of 4. 5 cars per week. "
