This is a lot of car for the money. The previous owner spent $40,000 building the car. The motor is impressive, it's strong, starts right up and sounds awesome. The overdrive makes highway cruising easy. Real muscle with nice comfort features.
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.
