Additional exterior details include fender guards, running boards, a bright cowl vent and engine louver accents, and chrome bumpers with overriders.Silver-finished 15″ Lemmerz wheels are mounted with 165-series Coker American Classic thin-whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes, the rear of which were reportedly fitted with replacement shoes, hoses, and wheel cylinders in April 2021. The front bucket seats and the rear bench seat are trimmed in black basketweave vinyl, while woodgrain trim accents the color-coordinated dashboard. Appointments include a cabin heater, a VDO analog clock, a wooden shift knob, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. The selling dealer states that the sun visors were replaced and that replacement carpeting has been installed in the front trunk. The four-spoke steering wheel wears a Wolfsburg crest, and it frames a 100-mph speedometer with an inset fuel gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 8k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership.
