The car left the factory finished in Silver Metallic. Features include fog lights, heated side mirrors, replacement headlight assemblies, and rear bumperettes. The seller states that the car was involved in a low-speed accident that resulted in damage to the right-rear quarter panel, and the hood and right-rear quarter panel have been repainted. The sunroof is difficult to open.
Fuchs 16″ wheels with black-finished centers are wrapped in 205/55 front and 225/50 rear Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R tires. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated rotors, and the front and rear brake lines were replaced in March 2025.
The front bucket seats and the rear seats are trimmed in black leather. The color-coordinated dashboard houses heater controls and an Alpine CD stereo, and the car is equipped with cruise control and power windows. The seller notes a tear in the right-rear section of the headliner as well as a crack in the top of the dashboard.
The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel frames a central tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline in addition to a 150-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for oil level, oil temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 129k miles.
The 3.0-liter flat-six is equipped with Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 172 horsepower and 189 lb-ft of torque. The seller reports that the engine was rebuilt circa October 2014, at which time a valve job was carried out and the case studs were replaced. Replacement engine mounts were installed in 2023, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
