The four-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilting column and sits ahead of a fuel-level gauge, a message display screen, and an inoperative speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles, fewer than 100 of which were added by the seller; the seller states the odometer is inoperative, and true mileage is unknown.

The 302ci V8 was factory rated at 134 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque when new. Service performed in 2015 included cleaning the heads, valve covers, rocker arms, push rods, and oil pan, as well as replacing the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, and oil pump and pickup. The oil was changed, multiple fluids were flushed, and the battery was replaced during current ownership.
