The body was refinished in white (050) in the late 1990s and features a matching removable hardtop, a black convertible soft top, chrome bumpers, European-style headlamps, and a Hirschmann power-operated antenna. The seller states that the hood and one hubcap were refinished during current ownership, and that additional undercoating has been applied. A tear is noted on the left rear sail panel section of the soft top, which can be seen in the gallery.
14″ steel wheels wear paint-matched hubcaps, chrome beauty rings, and 185-series Phoenix thin whitewall tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, and maintenance in 2016 included rebuilding the brake master cylinder.
The interior features low-back bucket seats upholstered in black MB-Tex, matching door panels, a black dash pad, and salt-and-pepper square-weave carpets. A Becker Mexico AM/FM/cassette stereo is fitted in place of the factory Becker Grand Prix radio, and additional equipment includes wooden trim on the dash and center console as well as aftermarket Hickok lap belts. An interior refresh in 2016 included replacement carpets, new seat upholstery, and an analog clock that was rebuilt with quartz movement components. The seller notes that the sun visors do not snap firmly into their plastic retainers.
Instrumentation consists of a 7k-rpm tachometer, a 220-km/h speedometer, and vertical gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 9k kilometers (~5k miles), approximately 1,200 miles of which were added by the seller since 2016. True mileage is unknown, and the seller notes that the fuel-level gauge was rebuilt in 2021.
The 2.3-liter M127 inline-six features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and was factory rated at 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt and the valve cover and intake manifold were polished during the late-1990s refurbishment. Service in 2016 is said to include re-coring the radiator, and the oil was changed in February 2021. The results of a compression and leak-down test in February 2021 are shown in the gallery below, as is the Hella service lamp that connects to a 12-volt port on the firewall.
The engine number reads 127.981-10-012559 and matches the number noted on the provided copy of the factory data card.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery.
The copy of the factory data card lists factory identification numbers, colors, and option codes including:
