The stance of this Nomad has been perfected with new glass front tires measuring 275/40 ZR 18 and rear tires at 275/40 ZR 20. These are mounted on striking aluminum smoke wheels, 18 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear, adding a modern, aggressive edge to this classic beauty.
Aesthetically, this Nomad impresses from every angle. The engine bay is fully chromed out, providing a show-quality presentation under the hood. The brightwork and trim remain in fantastic condition, complementing the vibrant red paintwork.
Inside, the cabin offers comfort and style in equal measure.
