Exterior equipment includes a power-folding black fabric soft top, headlamp wiper/washers, front fog lamps, power door mirrors and remote central locking. Paint meter readings provided by the seller show that the driver-side door was previously resprayed with the remainder of the panels believed to be original. Minor stone chips and scratches are visible on the front bumper.

The 16” Gullideckel wheels come fitted with a set of Continental ExtremeContact tires which measure 225/55 on all four corners showing 2019 date codes. The wheels appear free of curb rash. The seller reports that the front brake pads and rotors were replaced in September 2023.

Both seats are power operated with three-position memory for driver and passenger. Interior appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, a pop-up roll bar, a mesh wind deflector and a Continental head unit with bluetooth audio. The original Becker radio is included with the car. The seller notes that the power headrests are presently inoperable. 

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts analog instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 53k miles with 1,600 miles added by the current owner over the past year.

The Carfax report shows first registration in Florida with later registration reported in Montana, New York and Ontario. Linear mileage updates are shown from new with no accidents or damage reports present on the Carfax.
