The engine is paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, delivering traditional rear-wheel-drive dynamics. Independent front suspension with coil springs was an advanced feature for its time, enhancing ride comfort, while drum brakes and a solid rear axle with leaf springs complete the mechanical package.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
