Some things to mention about this car's condition and overall driveability/reliability. This is a completely rebuilt, but also very custom, show car. It is in extremely good aesthetic and mechanical condition. This car is in good enough condition to be used as a daily driver, but I wouldn't recommend it. The engine is very sound, it doesn't smoke, or burn oil, but the chassis is still almost 20 years old and is better suited to a weekend/ track/ show car than it is a commuter. That being said, this is a used car and as with any used car, there is no warranty expressed or implied.
Some known current issues include:
1) There is one small nickel sized, non-creased dent in the front left fender.2) There is a cracked section of paint on the lip of the passenger side front fender and a small cracked paint dent in the same location (pictured).3) There are a few small paint nicks around the drivers side headlight.4) The turn signals work but do not turn off by themselves, so after you make your turn, you have to turn the signals off manually.5) There is no horn.6) There are no airbags.
Thanks for looking and please ask any and all questions before bidding. This car is also being sold locally so I will reserve the right to cancel the auction early due to local sale.
