Write me with any questions. I bought this car for my son in 1999 and he did not want it. Great road car. Drove it from NYC to Mexico then directly to Toronto. Car loves to drive at 90 MPH- smooth as glass. Rare car needs rare owner. Can ship to most states by carrier for $600-$900. Will assist in shipping cross-county.
