It was a stock street car, with a 428, sunburst wheels, no hood scoop, no roll bar, and a standard unpolished engine bay and trunk. The idea that it was modified when new by FAV is a fantasy.

And that's what it should have been restored to... a street car with Sunburst wheels and street exhaust. Just my opinion of course.
