This car has had a lot of workmanship and time and effort put into it, o expense was spared. It really must be seen in person to appreciate the level of detail given to it.

The only real problem with the car is when you downshift you can hear the tailpipe hitting the rear control arm. I MAY get that looked at before the auctions end. My exhaust guy may be able to adjust the tailpipe for better clearance. I may even remove the tail pipe and just have the exhaust dump at the axle. Just FYI.

If you'd like to see the car in person before the auctions end, lease contact me, 'd be happy to show it to you. Message me and I can even give you my phone number.

Payment must be made in full within 7 days. Buyer must pay a $300 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours via paypal. The remainder must be paid in cash. No checks. Mileage may slightly differ because I still occasionally drive the car.
