Now I've decided to pass it along so the next person can enjoy it as much as I have.I honestly love driving this car.That being said, I haven't put a thousand miles on the car sinceI've owned it.It's hard to find the time to maintain and enjoy too many vehicles.At the moment, that is my issue.NO DISAPPOINTMENTS.This is a fantastic vehicle.Looking forward to another smooth and friendly transaction with fellow enthusiasts.Thank you!

Simple rules for buying from me:

Shipping:

Shipping costs are the buyers responsibility but I will work out the details with your shipper to load the car up safely as well as photo the pick up process.I have used DAS Auto Shippers in the past with great success.

Sold "As Is" and "Where Is". No warranty expressed or implied obviously BUT if you are in the area you are welcome and encouraged to come and physically inspect this vehicle at anytime. I'm not an expert on anything so PLEASE ask questions anytime. I'm happy to answer with 100% honesty to the best of my mechanical ability. This is an old vehicle folks. Hard to cover every inch BUT I am happy to take any additional pictures of specific areas for you upon request at ANY time. I try to video and photograph everything to insure an honest ad.

Nothing to hide here.

Paying:

1) CASH IN HAND IS KING and I prefer handshake, FACE-TO-FACE transactions but that's not always an option.

So...

I EXCLUSIVELY USE DOMESTIC BANK-TO-BANK WIRE TRANSFER. IT'S SAFE, SECURE AND INSTANT.

PAYPAL IS NOT ACCEPTED!
