It was a stock four-door when I purchased it circa '73 for $125.00 When I sold it in 1980, it was my 273 bracket racer (see photo). New owners painted it black and performed some "updates". Read the youtube comment for more history.

It never did wheel stands (wheelies) when I drove it. The new owners must have installed a larger, more powerful engine. I always drove/raced it with the original 273 cubic inch V-8. Here it is again (at Fremont Raceway), before being re-painted black and after I had sold it. My best time with the 273 was 12.72 @ 108 MPH.
