Modular 16″ BBS wheels are mounted with 225/55 front and 245/50 rear Kumho Ecsta PA31 tires. Stopping power is from power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes, and the selling dealer states that the brakes pads were replaced in June 2020.

Equipment includes heated front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, central locking, carpeted floor mats, an alarm system, and a Becker Grand Prix stereo and cassette player. Cracks can be seen on the shifter console veneer.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 30k miles.
The 5.5-liter M117 V8 is equipped with Bosch KE-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection and was factory-rated at 238 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque when new. Recent service includes a tune-up and an oil change.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
