Originally finished in Champagne Yellow, the car was disassembled, the floor pans and door skins were replaced, and the body was media blasted, epoxy primed, and repainted in Bali Blue during the refurbishment. Exterior features include painted bumpers with chrome trim and overriders, twin engine cover grilles, and a luggage rack. The seller notes paint chips and touch-up paint on the nose.
Polished 14″ Fuchs wheels have black-painted recesses and are mounted with 185/75 Toyo Extensa A/S tires. The steering box and brake calipers were rebuilt, and slotted brake rotors were installed along with a dual-circuit brake master cylinder.
The cabin features tobacco leather upholstery on the seats, door panels, and dash pad as well as square-weave carpets, woven floor mats, and a body-color dashboard. LED lighting has been added beneath the dashboard, and the Blaupunkt push-button radio was rebuilt and is connected to concealed USB input ports behind the ashtray cover. The clock was converted to a quartz movement, and rubber seals were replaced during the refurbishment. A slide-in smartphone mount has been added to the ashtray assembly.
The wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel frames gauges that were rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer in March 2012 including a tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 50k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The Porsche 912-sourced flat-four was reportedly rebuilt, overbored, and converted to electronic direct fuel injection by Liberty Motorsports of Costa Mesa, California. The car features a Pantera EFI fuel-injection system, and additional work completed includes line-boring the case, porting the head, performing a 12-volt conversion with a replacement wiring harness, and replacing the lifters, crank camshaft gears, heater box, and J pipes. Other components installed during the rebuild include:
The 741 four-speed manual transaxle was rebuilt by Vic Skirmants in 2011 and has been modified with a replacement flywheel and a tall-ratio fourth gear. A Liberty exhaust system has been installed.
The sale includes photographs and records from the refurbishment.
