The power steering system have been serviced and an oil change was completed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission that was serviced in 2016. The car is equipped with a dual exhaust system that features Flowmaster mufflers.
