:CONDITION:
OVERALL THIS IS A VERY NICE CAR BUT IT IS NOT PERFECT. IT ONLY HAS MAYBE
200 MILES ON IT SINCE FINISHING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AROUND TOWN WORKING
OUT ALL THE LITTLE QUIRKS AND SHE GETS MORE FUN EVERYDAY TO DRIVE.
AS FOR THE PAINT AND BODY I WOULD GIVE IT AN 9 OUT OF 10. IT COULD USE A LITTLE
MORE COLOR SANDING IN TIGHT CORNERS BUT OVERALL SHES VERY CLEAN
INTERIOR IS PROBABLY AN 8 1/2 OUT OF 10, BASICALLY DUE TO NOT HAVING THE
TRUNK CARPET COMPLETED AND STILL NEEDING TO ADD THE CONVERTABLE TOP
AND THE FINAL 2 VDO SPEEDO AND TACH GUAGES BUT I JUST RAN OUT OF MONEY.
THESE ARE ITEMS I CAN COMPLETE FOR THE NEW OWNER IF NEEDED OR ANY
OTHER CHANGES YOU MAY WANT TO MAKE AFTER WE AGREE ON A FAIR DEAL
:SHIPPING:
THE CAR IS LOCATED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WINNING BIDDER IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY AND ALL SHIPPING COSTS. I CAN POSSIBLE HELP WITH DELIVERY WITHIN
