Subsequent work included replacing the interior with red vinyl seats and trim, painting the body in Ivory, converting the disc brakes to utilize a wide-five bolt pattern, installing a set of 15â?³ Mobelwagen Interceptor wheels, and replacing the engine bay seal, carburetor linkage, and steering box. The car is built on a shortened Volkswagen chassis and is powered by an air-cooled 1,835cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional details include a tan soft top and side curtains and a black boot and tonneau cover as well as a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, Simpson latch-and-link lap belts, dual Weber carburetors, and a Porsche-style cooling fan kit. Exterior details include a tan soft top and side curtains and a black boot and tonneau cover as well as gold-finished Porsche 1600 Super badging, teardrop taillights, Pegasus fender decals, a reproduction Reutter badge on the right fender, and body-color bumpers with impact strips. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with spun aluminum drum covers. The replacement fixed-back bucket seats are trimmed in red vinyl upholstery, which extends to the replacement dashboard pad, door panels, rear parcel shelf, and shifter and parking brake boots. Grey square-weave carpets are protected by Coco mats, and additional interior details include a wooden shift knob, polished door pulls, Simpson latch-and-link lap belts, a cabin heater, and an adjustable height rearview mirror. The wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel wears a Porsche-crest horn button and frames a central tachometer flanked by a 130-mph speedometer and a combination gauge for fuel level and oil temperature. Dual Weber carburetors feed the air-cooled 1,835cc flat-four, which features a Porsche-style cooling fan kit, a Bosch blue ignition coil, a Jamar crankcase oil breather, a remote oil filter, and a Euro two-tip exhaust with heater boxes. The engine compartment seal was replaced, a ball and socket carburetor linkage was fabricated, and a thermo-controlled oil cooler fan was fitted.
