Either way, that's not part of the model name.

gldneagle ◊ 2019-01-03 04:29	it is a '79. It was likely a 4.2 litre from factory and modified to a 4.0 by a later owner who wanted to show that off. otherwise, was available with the 360, but this one appears to be pretty low option (with a Chief grill)
