I've seen this car in person and I'm surprised he's selling it! Its a beauty! The owner has a nice collection of cars and a beautiful home with several garages. The paint is beautiful...but if I remember the upholstry was redone in vinyl and seemed to be slightly off color. (forgive me if that isn't entirely true, but I do remember some sort of chat about that with the owner!)

What color is this? I am thinking of this color with my 1P11N interior would look awesome. I was going to go light green with a light/dark combo but I like this better.

It is a beautiful color!
My favorite color is still the light green.
But these cars do look awsome in the darker tones.

Matt: What did the engine compartment look like-no pictures included here?

engine compartment looked like the rest of the car. This one has been very well cared for and the owner is a great enthusiast. Its been included in the Santa Fe Concorso two years in a row...and completed the mountain challenge. This event only lets in quality cars.

So what made this one an "okay" car? This looks extremely well done to me.
