The cockpit-style interior was driver-focused, with a twin-cowl dash design.
Bucket seats were standard, upholstered in vinyl or leather.
A wraparound windshield added to the sporty look and improved aerodynamics.

Buyers could choose between a 3-speed manual, a 4-speed manual, or a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.

It was equipped with independent front suspension and a solid rear axle.
