Road & track ready. A/c, truck suspension!

This is more than a tribute or a clone, it's fully capable of holding it's own in high speed auto cross and road racing events. Although the owner did enjoy some time at the track, he mostly got his thrills cruising the streets. The gentleman we bought this car from has owned it since 2004.

SERVICE: We inspected this car and it passed with flying colors.

This car is amazing in all respects. I'm telling you I've seen thousands of cars, this is the real deal. It's built right by a very qualified shop! It would cost 1/4 million dollars to duplicate today.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
