Type 616/1 1.6-liter flat-four features twin carburetors topped with K&N air cleaners.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Type 644 four-speed manual transaxle. A photo of transaxle housing stamping 16649 can be seen on the Porsche Classic Technical Certificate.

Originally trimmed in red leatherette, the cockpit features fixed-back bucket seats that have been reupholstered in black vinyl with a color-coordinated rear seat bottom, dash pad, and door panels. Salt-and-pepper square-weave carpets line the floors, kick panels, sills, seat backs, and rear bulkhead. Additional equipment includes latch-and-link lap belts, a sliding rear–view mirror, and a chrome passenger-side grab handle.

The leather-wrapped Nardi steering wheel frames VDO green-letter instrumentation that includes a central 6k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge.

The five-digit odometer shows less than 56k miles.
