Car History:I purchased this car back in 2007 in California where it was a daily driver. I have a clear title under my name from the State of Florida now. It had a couple rust holes in the floor pan and some surface rust.I had the car professionally restored at a body shop using a car rotisserie. No bolt left unturned. New floor plans were installed. The car was media blasted and all surface rust removed. The undercarriage was sprayed with heavy-duty protective coating.A fiberglass Eleanor body kit was bolted-on and then molded. The car was painted using the original Eleanor paint codes (Pepper Grey Metallic - Dupont Fleet 44490) with black racing stripes that extend the whole length of the car from front to back.The car has been mostly garaged kept. I take it out once in a while for weekend drives and car shows. It has a very aggressive muscle engine sound when idle and during acceleration. Lots of power to the rear tires.You can listen to the exhaust system at: https://youtu.be/OFCI9PBSRFENote: Car will need a touch-up paint job as it has some paint cracks and scratches.ShippingI will gladly assist with shipping and can drop it off anywhere within the Tampa Bay area or you can arrange to have the car picked up.WarrantyThe car is sold "As-is" with no warranty.
