The car was finished from the factory in Silver Metallic (180) and was reportedly repainted under previous ownership. The passenger-side front fender is believed to have been previously replaced, and the car is equipped with a black soft top. The body-colored removable hardtop received paint repairs in 2016.
Steel 14” wheels wear body-colored covers, chrome trim rings, and 195/75 Hankook Optimo H724 tires. A spare is located in the trunk, and the wheel wells were repainted in February 2020. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes, and the seller notes a vacuum leak in the brake booster.
The interior was refreshed in 2017 and houses reupholstered black leather bucket seats along with gray squareweave carpeting and refinished wood trim. Amenities include an aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, lap belts, and a locking glove compartment.
A two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and three vertical auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles.
The 2.3-liter M127 inline-six is fitted with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Service performed since 2018 includes replacement of the camshaft cover gasket, a valve adjustment, and cleaning and adjusting the ignition points. An oil change was performed in May 2021.
