Transportation- Show up and simply drive it home. It’s traveled over 13 states over the years and is very reliable. You can also use the included towing bar and light system to connect to your class III hitch and use the 4 pin connector for the tow light package which is also included. Less than 2000 pounds makes for easy towing. I will also meet with any other transporter you would choose however I would personally bid it out on www.uship.com for the best results.
Mileage and such- The current GPS speedometer is sitting just under 32,000miles. I will still be driving & showing occasionally during the sale period. That is indicated on the title as non-actual miles since the speedo has been updated before. True total mileage on the car is just about 70,000 miles. Keep in mind also that the state of Ohio considers kit cars re-registered in our state to be classified as Rebuilt. I currently run Ohio Historic tags on the car and it is exempt from all emissions testing here. Every state handles cars like this differently.
This car rides about like a C5 Corvette around town and more like the C6 Corvette on the highway. Averages 18 city mpg and about 25 highway. Docile enough for anyone to drive and puts my wife right to sleep when cruising at 80 in overdrive but you can still hit mid 4’s in 0 to 60 with just 6000 rpm shift points and that is without abusing the transaxle. Go cart like handling past 1 G. with those 4-wheel disc brakes for stopping power. If you want to own an exotic kit car that won’t embarrass you at the next traffic light or leave you stranded on your next vacation this is your car. It would be difficult to build one of these canopy style cars to this level of quality and performance at twice what I am asking for it. No tire kickers or dreamers. Start bidding and you are on your way to driving this car home. The car can be seen by appointment with me personally.
