A four-spoke steering wheel frames a 115-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a combination gauge for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 182k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added by the seller.

The naturally-aspirated 3.0L diesel inline-five was factory rated at 77 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque and power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
