Really, this will be a good car for it's new owner. The owner was a respected collector/car lover who unfortunately passed away. He kept his cars in excellent working order. The photo album showing the before and restoration pictures will be included. Consider all the colors, features and restoration on this one when comparing to others. There is no comparison!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
