The car is finished in Arena Red Metallic with a black convertible top and trimmed with partial leather Cashmere Beige upholstery. The car is also equipped with four-wheel ABS, and a fully independent suspension with a multi-link rear. Interior features include air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows and seats. The car has spent most of its life in California and comes with a clean CarFax. It currently takes residency in Lenexa, Kansas.

The third-party photos and inspection show a clean and well-kept 911. The cars exterior only has minor scratches and chips in a few spots which can be seen in the inspection and photos. The interior shows minor wear that is consistent with the age of the car. No tears are present on the upholstery, and no odors were detected inside. The interior features all function as they should, including the seats and A/C. The current owner had a leak-down test performed on the engine that yielded good compression; the results are below.
