The car was originally ordered in Fire Engine Red (534) and was refinished following sheetmetal repair during a 2016 refurbishment carried out by Babbsco Collision Repair of Lake Worth, Florida. Exterior features include a black convertible top, chrome bumpers with overriders, a driver-side mirror, and rear stone guards. Pitting is noted on some bright-finished trim, and a paint chip is detailed in the photo gallery below.
Color-matching 13″ steel wheels feature chrome trim rings and hubcaps with matching centers. Bridgestone and Milestar whitewall tires measuring 175/80 are fitted. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel drums.
The interior features seating trimmed in red with a matching dash pad, door panels, and square-weave carpeting. Amenities include a locking glove compartment, a dash-mounted center mirror, and a Becker Mexico radio; a Sony head unit is mounted below the dashboard. Cracking is noted on the driver-side sun visor. The seller states that the turn signals and the horn are inoperative, and door-panel trim currently not fitted will accompany the car.
A two-spoke steering wheel exhibits wear and fronts a body-color dash that houses VDO instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges that measure oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer indicates 77k miles, approximately 4k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
The 1.9-liter M121 inline-four was factory rated to make 120 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Induction is handled by dual Weber 40DCOE carburetors. Work in January 2021 is said to have included rebuilding the carburetors as well as replacing the fuel tank, fuel lines, and battery.
