Don't be afraid to make a (reasonable) offer. This is a pretty hard-to-find car all complete. I want to sell it, but I'm not giving it away.

I'll try to answer any and all questions. The posted pictures are all I have, but if you need closer up pictures of something, let me know. Thank you.
Cash in person works best. I will also trade it for a running car or motorcycle. All forms of payment will be verified and cleared before releasing the car to anyone.
