A supplementary vacuum chamber has been added ahead of the radiator to assist the pop-up headlights. Paint chips and scratches are noted around the car. Silver-finished 15” steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 155/80 Lexani tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the calipers were reportedly rebuilt in 2018.

The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles, and total mileage is unknown. The 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four is equipped with dual Weber 40 DCOE carburetors, and the valve cover is finished in blue. The engine block is said to have been replaced several decades ago with a unit sourced from a 1966 model. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
