Car must be picked up within 14 days of the close of the auction. I can help with the loading of it, but will not arrange shipping.

I took this car on Hot Rod's Power Tour in 2014, going the entire way and put a little over 4,000 miles on it. I would drive it across the U.S. in a heartbeat. I have a clear title in hand.
