I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO PURCHASE THIS EXCELLENT COLLECTOR AUTOMOBILE FROM, JULIUS ALEXANDER / COLLECTOR & DEALER OF BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS IN JUNE, 2009. ALEXANDER DISTINCTIVE AUTOS AQUIRED THE CAR DEC. 2007 FROM DUFFYS COLLECTABLE CARS, CEDAR RAPIDS, IA. THE FABULOUS DEEP BROWN METALLIC FINISHALONG WITH THE FACTORY VENTED WHEEL COVERSREALLY MAKES THIS CAR STAND OUT WHERE EVER IT IS DRIVEN, CAR SHOWS OR JUST FOR A WEEK END CRUISE.

I HAVE TWO OTHER CARS THAT WE DRIVE ON CLUB TOURS & OUTINGS, SO THE GT HAWK SETS IN THE GARAGE. I AM AT THE AGE I JUST NEED TO LET SOME OF TOYS GO AND GET DOWN TO 2 CARS.
