Vehicle Detail

I had this car totally rebuilt in May of this year. I had all new pans installed, blew it apart, had all new metal replacement & repair of all of the rust, had it covered in a clean HD Panama Blue Metallic color and then added SewFine RED vinyl headliner, R&R the mechanicals of the ragtop and redid it in the RED, Black Sewfine carpet kit with matching matts and then I had custom built front seats made so I could fit my 6'3" big booty in to drive, had the rear seat covered to match, added Porsche gauges, a vintage speed shifter and their stainless exhaust, Rebel wiring harness, a matching Speedmaster rim spare tire hooked up, all new 1776cc motor with seperntine belt, alternator, dual KADRON carbs, petronix ignition and all powdercoated tins added. The transaxle shifts great, the front 2" narrowed adjustable beam with 2.5" dropped spindles with disk brakes works great and rides great, the rear is dropped two notches and has adjustable air-shocks with a manual filler valve in the rear engine compartment so when you load up for a trip to a show, you can raise or lower the rear ride height to cover that. All new rubber trim, new stainless trim, new german running boards, Flat4 Banjo style steering wheel, all new interior handles and knobs, basically, everything is new. I love the attention that this car gets, but it is done now and it's time for me to move on to a "NEW" project . On Oct-18-12 at 16:44:45 PDT, seller added the following information: Just for everybodies info, the car is listed for sale locally and there has been interest in the car, so i reserve the right to end the auction early.On Oct-20-12 at 13:58:00 PDT, seller added the following information: 10/20/12- I have added the air shocks to the back of the car and that has solved the problem woith the car sitting too low when loaded with passengers, cooler and chairs. It rides very nice and is easy to adjust the ride height by as much as 2". I have also lowered my reserve to the lowest I can take for the car. If the car does not sell this time, I will start taking ALL of the high dollar accessories off, and I'll replace them with the less expensive alternatives. So if you don't see it sell, look for it to be back in a few weeks without the Vintage Speed stainless exhaust ($700.00), Vintage Speed shifter ($290.00), Mooneyes Speedmaster Rims, 5 of them ($1000.00), the Flat 4 Banjo Steering Wheel ($395.00). Then the car can sell for the lower price.On Oct-21-12 at 09:09:26 PDT, seller added the following information: I have made a video this morning of the car as itsits right now, I have not washed it or in anyway tried to present anything but a true picture of the car as it sits, hope you enjoy my amatuer status as a videogrpher, and I know I'm not speeling some of these words correctly.

I have lowered the reserve and I think if you guys will just go a little further, the car will be sold.
