The car comes with a retro-style radio that can be connected to via bluetooth
and a 10" subwoofer that is wired to the trunk, but not currently connected as it needs the phono plugs refitting (it was working fine)
It also comes with a completely to the ground heavy duty car cover
Also included are a set of brand new door seals and window felts (need to be
fitted)
Speedshop guys think since the engine work was done (listed above) the car feels more like 600hp on the road....
