Originally silver according to the selling dealer, the Giugiaro-designed body was repainted in its current red by Smitty’s Auto Body of Doylestown, Ohio in the 1980s. Photos taken during the work are shown in the gallery below. Details include flying buttress styling in the rear, quadruple exhaust outlets, a vented hood, pop-up headlamps, and black rocker panels.
Campagnolo alloy wheels wear trident center caps and Michelin Pilot XGT V4 tires. A matching spare wheel with older Michelin rubber is housed under a hump in the rear deck lid. The car features Citroen-sourced hydraulically boosted braking system.
The cockpit is trimmed in black leather with matching carpets and door panels. Features include a brushed metal gauge surround, power windows, an AM/FM radio, and a clock. The air conditioning system does not blow cold due in part to severed lines according to a 2021 service record.
A single-spoke steering wheel frames oval Jaeger instruments including a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, a 160-mph speedometer, and a cluster of warning lights surrounding a STOP lamp. The five-digit odometer shows 18k miles.
The carbureted 3.0-liter V6 was sourced from the contemporary Citroën SM, and was factory rated at 190 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque. The September 2021 service including cleaning and syncing the carburetors as well as replacing the oil cooler lines, air cleaner and ducting, spark plugs, ignition wires, and distributor cap. A compression test yielded results of 120-125 psi according to the included invoice.
