Classic Car Overview
Seller purchased the vehicle in August of 2015 with 50,824 original miles. Extensive suspension work was done upon purchase. The following spring, the car was stripped to bare metal and a $12,000 paint job was done by a local detail shop. Shortly thereafter, a new soft top and leather seats were installed. New Bosch fuel injectors, a camshaft oiler kit and Michelin tires were added over subsequent years. Pinstriping was done by Bob Bond, a nationally recognized artist. His history and resume of clients is amazing: bobbondart.com. Included in the sale is the original hard top and wheeled stand.
