Description
The car was put into storage in 2013 and removed in 2020, at which time it was serviced with a fuel system cleaning and the replacement of the fuel pump, the distributor cap and rotor, the brake booster and hoses, and the coolant hoses. The car is finished in red with a black convertible top, and power is provided by a 4. 2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 15? knock-off wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, and a Sony AM/FM/cassette stereo. The body was reportedly refinished in red in 1996 and is fitted with chrome front split bumpers, a left wing-mounted mirror, glass headlight covers, and a black convertible soft top. The rear bumpers, door window regulators, and door glass are not installed and will accompany the car. Braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rear rotors, and the car rides on four-wheel independent suspension with torsion bars up front and coil springs at the rear. Service performed at Ragtops & Roadsters of Perkasie, Pennsylvania, in 2020 included replacing the brake servo, sanding the brake rotors, and replacing brake pads and flex hoses. The carpets, dash top, glove box assembly, and dash top have been removed. Equipment includes a driver’s seat with cracked and torn upholstery, a black-upholstered passenger seat, black lap belts, and a Sony AM/FM/cassette stereo.
