The originall red interior was restored in a more subdued black and red scheme. The excellent crack–free dash features an oil pressure gauge in place of the clock and matching fuel and water gauges.
The original white exterior will require a repaint to make the car show quality due to minor dents and dings.
This car drives beautifully with the automatic transmission well suited to the 2.0 liter engine. The car steers and handles very well and brakes effectively with no pulling.
All in all, this is a superb car, requiring only a repaint to be perfect.
