Stepping right out of a rally enthusiast’s daydream, this whip sports a sleek black paint job and is decked out with some serious Safari-style mods. It’s got every off-roader's wishlist ticked off. We're talking about a custom-designed front bumper that’s ready to face the wild, slip-proof skid plates for those slippery moments, and lighting from TRE Motorsports that looks like it’s straight out of a rally stage. And if that’s not enough to turn heads, it even features a retro-styled wooden roof rack that adds just the right amount of old-school cool. But wait, there’s more. The ride is seriously retro-chic with its iconic whale-tail spoiler, giving it a silhouette that’s both unique and nostalgic. Under the hood, this beauty is geared up with some top-tier tech including an adjustable suspension system from Elephant Racing, spring plates that you can tweak to your heart’s content, RSR stabilizer bars for that ultra-smooth ride, and 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels that perfectly complement the rugged BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires. Whether you're cruising down city streets or tackling uncharted terrains, this car is a bold blend of classic and contemporary. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a statement.
Step inside this ride and you're hit with a duo of sophistication and pragmatism, all wrapped up in the chicest way possible. Seats, dash, and door panels are all decked out in luxe black leather, jazzed up with a slick houndstooth pattern that screams 'high-end'. Adding a dash of racer-chic to the mix are the fiery red tachometer and auxiliary gauges, pumping up the interiors with an adrenaline-fueled vibe. But let's talk power—under the hood lurks a beast: a 3.2-liter flat-six engine, mated with a type 915 five-speed manual gearbox. It’s not just about brawn though; this setup sings a deep, bold melody, thanks to a sporty Dansk exhaust system. This ride promises not only to push the limits of performance but also resonates with a sound that's as raw as it is refined.
With just 16 hours left until the auction closes, the current top bid has hit a whopping $138,000, capturing the attention of car enthusiasts galore.
