Good Afternoon! Two questions: 1) No picture of dash, etc; Does it have a radio, etc? Any pictures?and 2) Does the inside of the door have a latch/lever or is it electronically opened??…..THANKS in advance….Paul
Hi Tazmanager! 1) Yes, it has a radio. The head unit is an ECLIPSE AM/FM/CD Receiver. I believe it is hidden in the center console. We’ll add a photo to the gallery shortly. 2) Each door has a billet aluminum door latch/lever on the interior door panel.
Photos have been added to the end of the gallery showing the full dash, the stereo mounted at the rear of the center console between the seats, and the door panel with latch handle.
Additional outdoor photos of the car with the top down have been added to the end of the photo gallery
