Modifications from stock
- Wire wheels (14x6 Appliance Fine Wires)
- 175/70R14 Delta tires
- Mulholland peformance strut inserts
- Aftermarket split glass sunroof
- Small diameter custom exhaust
- Chrome mud flaps
- Driving lights
Overall, the condition of the car as I bought it was far better than average, but it did show some normal wear. The paint had the expected rock chips, door dings, and a couple of small scrapes. The paint itself was mostly original, but had faded from the original warm red towards red-orange. The carpet was worn, but the rest of the interior looked nice.
