I often roll my eyes when I read a flowery description such as, "Incredible Condition", or a word like, Significant anywhere in a title/lead statement. It immediately raises a flag internally and I go into a mode of, let's see about that! But I must state as a 40+ year daily shopper of interesting assets that mostly have engines, this car has truly been preserved as well as one could. I believe. The fact it has lived its entire life in NY and presents itself this way is an even more significant result. You may find it odd that I'm commenting favorably towards a car I am trying to buy, fair enough. But if you know me, it would not surprise you at all. This comment is directed towards the owner in appreciation for preserving this one car to a very high level while still enjoying it! Well done my friend. Well done. You are to be commended.
Will bid higher if paint meter readings and underbody pictures are provided.
There's an old saying in the car business as it pertains to auctions, 'There are no friends in the auction lane!" I know the seller and consider him a friend. But all that goes out the window with this effort! The car is for Debra and the seller knows she is a bargain hunter!! Manage your expectations sir...
