Finished from the factory in Lime Green (6828) the car was taken to bare metal and repainted its current shade of green around 2001 by Automobile Associates of Canton, Connecticut following a replacement door and other body panels along with rust repair in the floors. A price quote from the work is visible in the gallery below, along with photos detailing the bodywork process. Bubbling is noted on the front fenders.
Fuchs 15″ wheels are wrapped in 195/65 Kumho Ecsta LX tires showing date codes from 2014. The wheels were refinished in 2015, and additional work at that time included installing Elephant Racing rubber suspension bushings, repacking the CV joints, and replacing the outer tie rods. Koni shocks were installed and the brakes refreshed in 1999.
The cabin is finished in black leatherette with matching door panels and gray carpets. Door speakers and custom parcel shelf speakers have been installed. The floors are shown with the carpets removed in the gallery.
A four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel with a “batwing” horn button fronts a centrally located tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline accompanied by a 120-mph speedometer, a temperature gauge, and an analog clock. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows just under 70k miles, less than 50 miles of which have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The air cooled 1.6L flat-four is fitted with dual Weber 40 IDF carburetors with steel velocity stacks, PerTronix ignition, and K&N air filters. The engine was reportedly overhauled by AutoSport Engineering of Massachusetts in June 1999, which included installing big-bore pistons and cylinders, a Bosch ignition coil, a new clutch assembly, and a replacement muffler. Compression test results from June 2021 are provided in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle. Additional underbody photos are included in the gallery.
