The car was reportedly stripped to bare metal and repainted black in 2019, at which time the door handles, trunk handle and latch, side windows, front vent windows, and the two-piece windshield were replaced. The steel body features fiberglass running boards and flared rear fenders that have been widened two inches to accommodate the rear tires. Additional exterior equipment includes a polished-aluminum grille and trim, a tubular chrome rear bumper, chevron-shaped taillights, flared fenders, tinted windows, and a driver-side mirror. The car is not equipped with windshield-wiper arms, and the side exhaust outlets in the front fenders have been capped with chrome plates. The seller notes evidence of repair to the right-rear corner of the car.
Black-painted 15″ and 17″ Wheel Vintiques wheels are mounted with 185/65 Maxxis MA-202 tires up front and 285/60 Toyo Proxes rubber at the rear. Braking is handled by ventilated front discs and rear drums. The car is equipped with a leaf-sprung straight front axle as well as coilover shocks at the rear.
The cabin features a split bench seat trimmed in tan cloth upholstery with brown piping along with a black-painted Deluxe-style dashboard and rubber floor coverings. Equipment includes bright trim, lap belts, a clock in the glovebox door, and a floor-mounted Hurst shifter. Dynamat sound-deadening material has been installed behind the dashboard and across the floor, and the door panels have been removed.
The battery is located in the trunk along with a fuel cell and a rubber floor covering.
The banjo-style steering wheel frames Classic Instruments gauges including a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary readouts. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows nearly 50 miles, and the seller has driven the car approximately 200 miles. True chassis mileage is unknown.
