It has a gear reduction starter, an alternator andcustom larger diameter exhaust.The transmission is a 4 speed with overdrive, but a Factory GT6, 4 speed transmission has been installed in the car for now.The overdrive transmission is out of the car. It needs some work and is included in the sale of the car.The interior has been modified with a one piece burl walnut dash, AMCO shift knob, a very nice TR4/TR4A "banjo" style steering wheel andtan vinyl/cloth seats, panels and carpet. The horn button is non-functional as is the emergency flasher switch. The heater has been drained and bypassed to keep down cabin temperatures, but the heater core appears good and the switches and fan are functional.The body and paint are in good shape, not perfect, but very good. It was last painted about 10 years ago when restored. The side marker lights and some rear lights have been deleted for a smoother appearance. There is a scratch repair on the passenger front fender, near the side louvers and paint chips on the inside of the drivers door. (see photos).

The only significant rust on the car is the bottom of the battery box, which would need to be replaced at some point aside from that I'm not aware of any significant rust. A new battery box is about $50 from several sources.
