Details
Fibreglass bonnet, red inner wings, and a 455 with the good cam.
The W-30 package brought a hotter camshaft, a fibreglass bonnet with functional scoops, aluminium intake and the red plastic inner wings that identify the option at fifty paces. As a convertible it is rarer still. Restored with the correct drivetrain and a new power hood, and it remains the most usable car in this listing: big torque, a supple ride, and enough refinement to take on a three-hundred-mile day without complaint.
