This vehicle has had a complete Stage III conversion on the motor and suspension by Chris Cancelli of Performance Research Industries of Sutherlin, Oregon.  The motor has 11.2:1 compression PRI camshaft, roller rocker and solid tappets. Induction is by 4 42mm Mikuni flat-slide carbs and the exhaust is a tuned "superbike" type header with 3inch side exit exhaust.  Wheels are light weight SSR's 16x7 tires are Khumo 205x16-40's. A conversion to Wilwood discs all around was also done as part of the suspension upgrade to adjustable coil over suspension. The interior is original except for the seats being re-covered in green vinyl instead of black.   The body and paint are original and in "survivor" condition.
