Dear bidders, We are finally in the home stretch! Please let me know if you have any last minute questions or concerns that I can address. Thanks and GL!
Here’s a quick walk around video folks, let me know if you have any questions or need further pictures, thank you! https://youtu.be/wDuPgO3pr-I
@cocothunder of course! That was from the leaky breather that has since been replaced. The undercarriage photos were taken prior to the major service being performed & the detail. Mechanically the car is a cherry. I’m in the process of uploading a walk around video. Should be up later tonight or tomorrow AM. All the cosmetic flaws are pointed out in the vid.
@harry19 Do you happen to know what is causing what appears to be an oil leak that can be seen in Photo 60?
@harry19 Thanks for confirming. As you know, CA requires a current smog upon title transfer so I just wanted to confirm it wasn’t going to be an issue given the cat situation.
@cocothunder Yes, I can provide a smog cert to any CA buyer. The vehicle was smogged in July of 2023 to renew the registration just as an FYI. Current reg is good till July 2024.
Will a current smog be provided to a CA buyer?

@harry19 Thank you for your response. I didn’t notice the trunk photos, appreciate you pointing them out. Stunning color and the monoblocks is a terrific choice.
@assistboy I can't say there is an audible difference in exhaust note to be honest. Photos 52-54 show photos of the trunk. I can provide more if there is a specific area you wish to see. Thank you!
with the secondary cats removed, how would you describe the exhaust note? also, can you please post photos of the trunk?
Good morning dear bidders and future owner, please feel free to comment with any questions and concerns. I will be happy to address anything related to this vehicle. Thanks again and happy bidding!
