It delivers 48 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and is backed by a four-speed manual transaxle. There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and an independent suspension system with Torsion Bars and Shock Absorbers. The exterior is finished in Code L54D Marina Blue paint with a Black basket-weave vinyl interior.
