According to the seller, the exterior was repainted in its original shade of gray during a 1980s refurbishment that also included repair of front-end damage incurred in a 1978 accident. Various paint chips and other imperfections in areas of the finish are shown in the photo gallery below along with close-ups of the trim, lenses, and soft top.

According to the seller, the exterior was repainted in its original shade of gray during a 1980s refurbishment that also included repair of front-end damage incurred in a 1978 accident. Various paint chips and other imperfections in areas of the finish are shown in the photo gallery below along with close-ups of the trim, lenses, and soft top. A six-digit California black license plate is retained at the rear.
Painted 13” wheels wear two-piece chrome covers with body-color centers and are wrapped in Michelin thin-whitewall tires. A full-sized spare is housed in the trunk and wears a Dunlop tire. Stopping is handled by servo-assisted hydraulic drum brakes, which were serviced approximately four months ago.
The cabin is said to have been reupholstered in the 1980s and features red leather over the seats, door panels, and lower dash. Wood accents the dash, doors, and windshield, while contrasting gray velour carpeting is protected by charcoal carpeted floor mats. A top boot is not present.
The two-spoke steering wheel with a red leather horn pad and a chrome horn ring frames VDO instrumentation including a horizontal 110-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 15k miles, and true mileage is unknown. The center dash houses an ashtray and a clock overtop a Becker Europa II stereo, the latter of which is said to function spottily.
The 2.2-liter M127 inline-six features an aluminum cylinder head, a single overhead camshaft, and Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Output was factory rated at 115 horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. An oil change was performed about four months ago.
Four-wheel independent suspension incorporates coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers all around, a front anti-roll bar, and a single-pivot rear swing axle. Additional images of the underside and wheel wells are provided in the gallery below.
