The car was finished from the factory in Cobalt Blue and was repainted under prior ownership. Exterior details include a sunroof, quad headlights, a Leaper hood ornament, dual fuel fillers, and dual exhaust outlets. A paint crack around the rear window and rust in the driver-side door jamb were repaired in preparation for the sale.

The 15″ basketweave wheels are mounted with older 215/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, and a full-size spare is located in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rear units. A heavy-duty rear sway bar is fitted along with larger brake rotors.

The front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in Biscuit leather, and wood trim adorns the dashboard and center console. Additional appointments include a Sikky shifter with a wood knob, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, cruise control, and a Kenwood head unit with Bluetooth wired to Infinity speakers as well as an amplifier in the trunk.

The three-spoke MOMO steering wheel frames Autometer instrumentation, consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 3,300 miles, and true mileage is unknown.

The 6.2-liter Gen V LT1 V8 was installed under prior ownership and features ceramic-coated headers that flows to a 3″ stainless-steel dual exhaust system with Magnaflow mufflers. A high-capacity aluminum radiator has been installed, along with a chrome alternator, cold air intake, and air conditioning compressor.

The car was fitted with an 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission in 2019 and a six-speed manual transmission has since been installed in its place. The car is reportedly equipped with a limited-slip differential and a heavy-duty driveshaft.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage, lists a mileage inconsistency in July 2020, and displays history in California, Michigan, Utah, Vermont, and New Jersey from the first entry in 1990.
