Vehicle Description
Finished in Magnificent Black (orig. colors), Exquisite Red
Interior with Silver Piping and Blacktop, this Southern Estate (2)
owner BJ8 has traveled only 47,000 original miles from new, with
the second owner's documented stewardship for the past 49 years.
Offered here is a truly exceptional example. Showing just over
47,000 miles, accumulated at a very conservative rate of only just
over 1,000 miles per year on average. This low mileage is evidence
of responsible stewardship for this legendary sports car. This is
borne out by the Pristine condition of every mechanical and
cosmetic aspect of the car. The car's exterior finish in Stunning
Black (PPG-Base Coat/Clear Coat), characteristic vertical-slat
chrome front grille (a piece of automotive artwork if ever there
was one), original engine, and wire wheels (with center knock-off
spinners) all reflect the care given and investments made in
maintenance over the years. The same is true for the brightwork,
emblems (more automotive artwork), windshield, and lighting lenses.
It has recently undergone Extensive Professional Restoration,
including Exterior, Interior, Woodwork, Brightwork, Top, and
Mechanics (full photo portfolio documentation). Total Investment
