The cabin features seating upholstered in black vinyl with matching carpets and trim. Equipment includes power windows, seatbelts, aftermarket speakers, a Kenwood AM/FM Cassette stereo, and a gated shifter.
The three-spoke steering wheel fronts Veglia instrumentation that includes a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,900-rpm redline, and gauges monitoring fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure reside in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 24k miles, approximately 250 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The mid-mounted Ford-sourced 351ci Cleveland V8 was factory rated at 266 horsepower and 301 lb-ft of torque and features an electronic ignition, Hall Pantera radiator, and Holley 600 cfm carburetor.
