The car left the factory finished in Celeste was repainted by Ray Ashcraft Autobody of Mooreland, Indiana, in 2013 following corrosion repair. Exterior features include a black soft top, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers.
Silver-finished 15″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. The suspension has reportedly been modified with Koni shocks. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes, and the primary brake cylinder is said to have been rebuilt during the aforementioned refurbishment.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl with blue piping accompanied by black door panel inserts and a body-color dash. Equipment includes an IPRA heater, a retro-look digital radio, a dashboard-mounted rear view mirror, and lap belts.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a central tachometer with an inset oil pressure gauge, a 140-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge measuring oil temperature, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 1.3L twin-cam inline-four is equipped with dual 40mm Weber DCO3 carburetors in addition to a Bosch starter generator and voltage regulator. Work performed as part of the refurbishment is said to have included rebuilding the water pump and installing an electric fuel pump. The car features a vinyl wiring harness as well as a Bosch 12-volt generator and voltage regulator. The valves were ground in July 2022, and work performed in preparation for the sale reportedly included an oil change as well as cleaning the carburetors. Removed Magneti Marelli components will accompany the car.
The factory four-speed manual transmission has been replaced with a five-speed unit that is said to have been sourced from a 115 Series Alfa Romeo. Additional underside photos are shown in the gallery.
