This vehicle shows nice in and out. It has new custom wheels and tires, but does come with original wheels and hub caps also. It rides smooth and feels like a new car as far as handling and comfort. It has a glass rear window, not plastic. It has a rebuilt engine. There is nothing to do or fix on this car. It comes with an indoor car cover. For those few of you who do not know, the engine is in the rear and the trunk is at the front. It was entered in 2 car shows this year and won a trophy in one of them. The paint is not perfection, but IS worthy with a couple of blemishes hard to find which was stated by a judge. The article pictured is from THE BURLINGTON FREE PRESS, the largest newspaper in Vermont published on Thanksgiving Day 2013. The reason for this sale is that my wife broke her wrist, can not shift easily any more, thus only drove it a couple of times this year.On Sep-18-14 at 18:54:57 PDT, seller added the following information: This car shifts similar to a manual except without a clutch... usually for forward you would just use second and third gears as first gear is not necessary. Second gear is starting from neutral which is center then simply push forward, then to shift to third by pulling all the way back. You shift to third while accelerating anywhere from 30 to 50 MPH depending on the speed you want to attain. Then to help you brake slow down or stop shift to second gear anywhere from 50 to 0 MPH. To shift to reverse from neutral push down a bit left and forward. Just so you know for first you push down a bit left and rearward.
