The car was refinished in blue under previous ownership, and exterior features include pop-up headlights, quad exhaust outlets, and black mirrors, rocker panels, and bumpers. The front bumperettes were installed under current ownership.
The 17″ Campagnolo-style wheels were added under current ownership and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Work under current ownership has included installing an electric power-steering system and replacement CV half shafts in place of the stock units.
The bucket seats are trimmed in black upholstery with DeTomaso-branded racing harnesses, and the cabin features burl wood accents on the dashboard and door panels. An air-conditioning system was added under current ownership along with installing a lowered driver-side floor pan.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary instruments. The five-digit odometer shows 54k miles, approximately 400 of which were added under current ownership.
The 351ci Cleveland V8 has been modified with an Edelbrock high-rise aluminum intake manifold, a Holley 600 carburetor, a gear-reduction starter, an aftermarket radiator, and aftermarket cooling fans. An ANSA-style exhaust system along with replacement headers and mufflers have been installed under current ownership. Work in preparation for the sale has included cleaning and adjusting the carburetor, recharging the air conditioning system, and an oil change. The seller notes an oil leak.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed ZF transaxle, and the clutch was replaced in 2019 along with the clutch cylinders.
