EXTERIOR: Very handsome design and the fit and finish is great. It has a nice fitting cowl hood, the body is smooth from the rockers to the roof. Painted Lemans Blue, the metallic is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished like glass. There are some minor chips behind the tires. The windshield and door glass were replaced, actually the vent windows were removed for a cleaner look. The glass is tinted. It looks like all the trim and weatherstrips were replaced. It has Halo LED headlights in front. It's rolling on 3 piece forged Forgeline Formula 43 wheels: 18x9s and 18x12s. Some serious grip Mickey Thompson Street slicks in the rear help put that power to the road.

AC vents are mounted neatly under the dash. I'm sitting in a very comfortable Pro Car sports seat, the backseat is reupholstered. Retractable 3 point seatbelts were added in front. The side panels are excellent, it has deluxe molded door panels in great shape too. It has fresh carpet on the floor with reproduction mats.

However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed within a museum setting.
