This car is an absolute blast to drive around in. Mechanically she is perfect. The paint is an older paint job and while it's very showable, here are a few knicks in it from being driven and could use a new paint job in a few years. They're not visible unless you go over the car with a comb.
I'm sure there's things I'm forgetting to list, o feel free to send me a message to get my number and I'll happily go over the car with you.
Transportation out of Texas/around Texas: I can help arrange transport through a number of vendors I've had success with, r I can deliver the car up-to 300 miles from Houston for a fee.
