Car description

This car was sold new and used inGermanyas a family daily driver until 2012 when its previous owner moved toFlorida. The car was placed in a container with the rest of the family's belongings for the overseas transfer but was not secured properly, causing front lower valance and rear bumper damage visible on pictures. The front bumped against furniture during rolling wave action and is not damaged much. The rear bumped against the metal door of the Conex and shows more work needed.

  • All lights work
  • New tires on front wheels (30 miles added since new), newer tires on rear wheels (2014, few in-town miles since then)
  • New battery
  • New OEM air filter
  • New brake disks included
  • Full spare tire with tools
  • Sound/heat pad and carpet in trunk

This is a unique car in the automobile history and revolutionary when it came out in 1955. Unbelievable smooth ride and easy to drive. One of Jay Leno's favorite car (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzW_ERSgFRY).

The car has a Clear Florida title and is legal to drive in all 49 states, I refuse to speculate on California rules since I know nothing about them.

On Mar-06-18 at 18:06:20 PST, seller added the following information:

I confirm the mileage to be 150,400 km, or 93,400 miles, as the first registration at the time of import to US shows 146,092 actual km.
