The exterior was stripped before receiving a repaint replicating its factory-delivered Silver Metallic (80). XPEL paint-protection film was applied to the leading surfaces of the nose and rear quarter panels in 2019. Reconditioned trim including rocker-panel strips and gold lettering was installed during reassembly. Rust repair was performed on the nose panel and the front suspension pan.

The exterior was stripped before receiving a repaint replicating its factory-delivered Silver Metallic (80). XPEL paint-protection film was applied to the leading surfaces of the nose and rear quarter panels in 2019. Reconditioned trim including rocker-panel strips and gold lettering was installed during reassembly. Rust repair was performed on the nose panel and the front suspension pan.
Refinished 15” Fuchs wheels are wrapped in 185/70 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel ventilated discs. Koni shocks are fitted at each corner. In late 2020 the shocks and struts were replaced and the brakes were serviced.
Sport seats have been reupholstered and are mounted with a set of reconditioned tracks and hinges. Kuehl air-conditioning components are designed to work with the factory switches and under-dash vents. A Blaupunkt AM/FM radio is positioned in the dashboard.
A four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation that includes an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 150-mph speedometer, combination gauges, and a clock. The five-digit odometer shows 69k miles, and true mileage is unknown.
The mechanically injected 2.2L flat-six is paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Rothsport Racing of Sherwood, Oregon rebuilt the engine and transaxle for approximately $35k in 2017. The engine was rebuilt again in early 2021 by LA Workshop 5001 of Los Angeles, California at a cost of more than $80k, as detailed on a spreadsheet pictured in the gallery below.
