The car is mechanically sound, runs great and is fun to drive. Dupont Choma Premier San Marino Red R94. Car is solid & drives great. It's not super perfect some wear on the paint. Small stone chips & little dents here & there. Still It's a fine looking driver! Not a trailer queen. This car turns heads trust me!
