This car was appraised at $400,000 12 years ago. It costs much more
today to build a car like this. It has been carefully driven 2,000
miles, it's ready to be enjoyed. I dont think our marketing does
this car justice. I think the more time the new owner spends with
this car the more impressed he will be. The appreciation for the
details will grow. Like a gift that keeps on giving!
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.
