This is a beautiful car, though engine specification incorrect, as the M113 produces 302 horsepower & 339 pounds-feet. The numbers in listing refer to the M119, offered in 96-98. GLWTA!

How would you feel about driving this car right away? Trying to determine if it’s road worthy enough to drive home.
This is a really good looking car. Kudos on a sharp photo shoot.
