Chrome bumper guards are included in the sale.
Chrome 15” wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 205/70 Pirelli P4000 SuperTouring tires. The front brake calipers were overhauled and replacement discs and pads installed in 2010 while the rear brakes received replacement calipers, discs, and pads in May 2019. Independent front and rear suspension came standard on Series III models, and the front torsion bars, shocks, and upper and lower ball joints were replaced under current ownership. A remanufactured steering rack was installed in 2012.
The bucket seats are finished in Russet leather with matching door panels and carpets and a black dashboard. Equipment includes air conditioning, an aftermarket cassette stereo, a locking glovebox, center console with armrest, and a carpeted rear parcel shelf. The heater core has been bypassed per the seller.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and center-mounted auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 60k miles, approximately 9k of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 5.3-liter V12 was factory rated at 241 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque and is fitted with an aftermarket electronic ignition and a stainless steel dual exhaust system that was installed in 2017. The four side-draft Zenith-Stromberg carburetors were overhauled in October 2020, the alternator replaced in November 2020, and the car received an oil change and replacement air conditioning seals in August 2021 per the seller. Compression test results are viewable in the gallery, and additional items replaced over the last 15 years include the following components:
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that was overhauled and received a replacement clutch in 2009. The rear axle was refreshed in 2010. Additional underside photos can be seen in the gallery, along with receipts from the aforementioned work.
