There is a removable ice chest between the aft facing seats. The seat material is original (1976/1977). The seats and lower sidewalls are covered in a Grayish Light Blue and white speckled cloth material. The upper side walls, below the window line, are covered in a Gray Cloth Material. The carpet is a Light Gray wool material. The headliner is a beige colored material.

Exterior Notes: The exterior has one base color, which appears to be Sherwin-Williams Juneau White. There are two Cub Yellow accent stripes and two Cayenne Orange accent stripes. The registration markings are also Cayenne Orange. The Cub Yellow accent stripes run the entire length of the fuselage from the engine cowling to the empennage and sweeping up on the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The Cayenne Orange accent stripes run from the lower portion of the empennage vertically at an angle to the top of the vertical stabilizer. The wings, wing flaps and ailerons are painted in Juneau White.
