ive always loved yor car ,, unique unto itself even among the 20ths.

The gold on black would force me to swap on the 20th gold turbines to complement it.

Do you have more recent pics, your site says 2007 pics.

It looks to be rust free,,, true?

love the car,, needs an owner.  Just get it here and I will baby sit it, car cover and all.

miles do not ruin a car.  I never understood that when people tell me im putting too many miles on the 20th.

its meant to be out stretching its legs.  ITs not like these cars will ever be the "be all and end all" collector car.

one never knows though.

I dont mean ruin the car but put too much abuse on the motor and other parts but I guess they can all be changed. The real reason im selling it im moving west to Nevada and moving this car with me is not really an option now. I will get them pics for you probably Tuesday seeing that is my next day off.
