The body is said to have been refinished in black in 1992. Exterior details include a tan convertible top and matching top boot, Hella driving lights, vent windows, and a single exhaust outlet as well as bright-finished elements that include the front grille, bumpers with overriders, window surrounds, and trim.
Steel 13″ wheels wear bright-finished covers with body-color inserts and are mounted with 185/80 Kirkland All-Season thin whitewall tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted drums on all four corners. The seller states that brake system service in August 2022 included replacing the master cylinder, the slave cylinders, and the lines.
The cabin is equipped with front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in tan upholstery with a color-coordinated lower dash, door panels, and square-weave carpets. Wood trim accents the dash, A-pillars, and door panels, and additional appointments include hand-crank side windows, a heater and defroster, a central ashtray, an analog clock, lap belts, and a Becker Mexico radio. Staining on the headliner is depicted in the photo gallery below.
A black two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a horizontal-sweep 110-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The speedometer does not work and the five-digit odometer shows 64k miles, approximately 5k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
The 2.2-liter M180 inline-six is equipped with dual Solex carburetors and an August 2022 service is said to have included rebuilding and tuning the carburetors.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
Car show awards accompany the car, along with a tool kit, first aid kit, refurbishment photos, and service records.
