The car was refinished in the current shade of bronze during previous ownership. Equipment includes dual side mirrors, and a chrome grille, trim, and bumpers.
Factory 14″ steel wheels wear body-color covers and are mounted with 205/70 Cooper Lifeliner Classic tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes front and rear.
The cabin features brown leather seats along with a matching dash, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes power windows, wood trim, rubber floor mats, and a Becker AM/FM radio.
A two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring sits ahead of VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 48k miles.
The 4.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch fuel injection and sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. Service since 2019 has reportedly included changing the oil and replacing the radiator, fuel pump, and battery.
