The wood trim and console box have also been restored. Under the bonnet is a 2.8-liter engine that is paired with the extremely coveted four-speed manual transmission. The car comes with the original books with pouch, tool roll, hard top and over 30 years over service records.

The current owner has owned this classic German-built car for over 30 years as the second owner. The first owner of the car is reported to be Cheryl Ladd of the hit TV show Charlies Angels. The original buck tag showing that the car was made for her and her husband comes with the car.
