Features include angled quad headlamps, finned quarter panels, power front disc brakes, power steering, a push-button transmission gear selector, remote mirror control, 3-row seating with a stowable rear-facing bench seat, and chrome 15″ wire wheels.
Originally finished in white, the car is said to have been repainted in teal blue and white during a refurbishment under current ownership. Features include angled quad headlamps, chrome bumpers, finned quarter panels, a rear tailgate with power window, a fender-mounted mirror, reverse lamps, and dual-outlet exhaust.
Chrome 15″ wire wheels are mounted with 235/75 General Ameri SE white stripe tires. The car is fitted with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features three rows of bench seating reupholstered in parchment leather with pleated inserts along with matching door trim panels. The car features a black dash covering and carpet, push-button transmission gear selector, remote mirror control, a rear-facing bench seat that stows in the floor, and an analog clock.
The AstraDome instrument cluster contains a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for amperage, fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 96k miles.
The original 413ci V8 was replaced by a 440ci V8 during the refurbishment under current ownership. Service in 2019 is said to have included replacement of the fuel filter and hoses and exhaust manifold, and a battery hold-down was installed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Service in 2019 is said to have included replacement of the right rear axle bearing and seal.
