The body is finished in green metallic and features a tan soft top, retractable headlights, US-specification impact bumpers, chrome door handles, a retractable antenna, and dual exhaust tips.
Replacement 13″ Panasport-style wheels are wrapped in 205/60 Toyo Proxes tires that show date codes from 2011. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The seller states the rear drum brakes were overhauled and the brake hydraulic components have been replaced. Adjustable rear shock absorbers have been fitted along with front and rear sway bars.
The cabin features tan leather upholstery with a matching center console, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes air conditioning, intermittent wipers, an aftermarket roll bar, aftermarket Kenwood speakers, and a matching tan top boot. An uninstalled replacement carpet kit will accompany the car.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a wood veneer-faced gauge cluster with a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 39k miles.
The 3.5-liter V8 features Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection and was rated at 148 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque when new. An oil change is said to have been performed in October 2020. A coolant flush was performed and a replacement battery was installed in preparation for the sale according to the seller. The front section of the wiring harness is said to have been replaced under current ownership.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The removed slotted wheels, the removed upholstery, and a tool kit will accompany the car.
