I can't say enough good things about this one. Read the ad and
watch the video to see why I think this one is extraordinary.

To top it off the car drives and functions like new. I really mean
that, I drove it home and it was amazing. Ran, shifted, steered,
stopped like new. But more than that there were no rattles, wind
leaks or squeaks. Everything I tried worked down to the clock.
EXTERIOR: I believe it to be original rust free metal. It is
straight as a rifle barrel. The gaps are square and flush. No
damage, cracks or blisters. Doors shut like new. It's a factory red

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.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.

showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
