The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 43k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 was factory-rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, which is routed to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. The transmission fluid was changed in 2022.
