The body was reportedly repainted in Midnight Blue in the 1980s, and the dark blue soft top is a replacement item. The Midnight Blue removable hardtop is shown in the gallery, and additional features include a side mirror for the driver, halogen headlamps, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Evidence of the bodywork can be seen on the left inner fender, and the hood is said to have been replaced. Additional imperfections are also depicted in the gallery.
Steel 14″ wheels feature polished covers with body-color centers and are wrapped in older Michelin Symmetry tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. An inspection carried out in September 2021 by Huber’s Imported Car Service in Golden Valley, Minnesota noted the left inner tie rod boot is ripped, the stabilizer bar is broken, a power steering hose leaks, and the center drag link is worn.
The seats are upholstered in Parchment MB-Tex, and the cabin features a matching dash pad and door panels along with salt-and-pepper carpets. Amenities include wood trim on the dash and center console, a Becker push-button radio, a heater, and an analog clock. A previously fitted air conditioning system was removed and is included in the sale.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a refurbished instrument cluster including a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and a vertical combination gauge with readouts for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 84k miles, approximately 24k of which were added by the current owner. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2.8-liter inline-six was factory rated at 168 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque and was rebuilt in 2008. In September 2021, Huber’s Imported Car Service performed a pre-purchase inspection that noted an engine oil leak, steering gear oil leaks, a transmission fluid leak, and a leak at the rear differential.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. A replacement exhaust system is installed, and additional photos of the underside are provided in the image gallery.
