The body was finished in Signal Red (568U) from the factory and features bumper covers and lower body cladding that have been repainted to match. Equipment includes European-style headlights, a power-operated sunroof, a power-operated antenna, and a single windshield wiper. Accident damage is noted on the Carfax report in December 1992, although no further details are given. The seller states that the front fenders and hood have been repainted, and an Underdog pro paint protection coating was applied to the exterior. A ding and paint blemishes are shown in the image gallery below.
Chrome-finished 16″ Alamak alloy wheels are mounted with 205/55 Continental PureContact tires. The car is equipped with independent suspension front and rear. Braking is handled by ventilated front and solid rear discs with ABS. The front lower ball joints and front brake pads and rotors were repacked, according to the seller.
The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in Palomino leather along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, a power-adjustable steering column, and an Eclipse stereo. The seller notes that the driver-seat tilt function is inoperable, and the blower motor and regulator were replaced.
A leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,200-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and instant fuel economy. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 158k miles, approximately 78k of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.0-liter M103 inline-six was factory rated at 177 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque. The engine mounts, alternator, water pump, air conditioning lines, fuel filter, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and ignition distributor cap and rotor were reportedly replaced in 2015. The seller states that the air conditioning refrigerant was recharged, the air filter was replaced, the coolant and power steering fluid was flushed, and the oil was changed in 2022.
