The engine's power is managed by a 4-speed manual transmission equipped with a Hurst shifter, providing an engaging driving experience. An 8-inch posi rear end ensures efficient power delivery to the rear wheels.The inside has been thoughtfully updated with grey velour bucket seats and brown carpeting, offering a comfortable and inviting cabin. The painted dashboard matches the exterior, maintaining a cohesive look, while a 3-spoke wood steering wheel with a chrome center adds a touch of elegance. A Sun Super RPM tachometer mounted on the dash provides the driver with essential engine information. The vinyl headliner and grey rubber floor mats contribute to the interior's clean and classic appearance.
