The body is said to have been repainted in its current shade of gray during previous ownership. Exterior details include a power-operated sunroof, fog lights, headlight washers, and impact bumpers. The Carfax report shows a damage report in July 2003 due to vandalism. The sunroof beading and front hood struts were replaced during current ownership. The seller notes a paint blister on the lower-right A-pillar, along with paint chips and scratches around the body.
Staggered-width 16” Fuchs wheels wear 205/55 front and 225/50 rear Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires that show 2021 production date codes. A space-saver spare is stored in the front compartment. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the car rides on Bilstein shocks at all four corners. Service in May 2021 consisted of performing a brake fluid flush as well as refurbishing the brake calipers.
The cockpit features standard bucket seats reupholstered in black leather and are complemented by a color-coordinated replacement dashboard. Amenities include a Pioneer head unit and power-operated windows. The car is equipped with air conditioning, though the system does not blow cold. The seller notes an alarm system was removed under prior ownership, the cruise control functionality is inoperative, and the vertical adjustment for the right-door mirror is nonfunctional.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation that includes a centrally mounted tachometer, a replacement 150-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil level, oil temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 118k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 3.0-liter flat-six is said to be equipped with Carrera oil-fed chain tensioners that were installed under prior ownership. Service in May 2021 by Dennis Sherman Foreign Car Service of La Mesa, California, included removing and disassembling the engine, performing a valve job, resurfacing the cylinder heads, and replacing the following components:
The car most recently passed a California emissions test in August 2011.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle that was refurbished in May 2021 with the replacement of all five synchros, first gear dog teeth, and seals.
