Abandoned SEMA SL65 Widebody !!!

If it isn't abandoned, it sure looks it. Inches of dust, windows rolled down ... It's in a sad state of affairs

It's a Misha kit. You may want to try them to see who owns the car. If they own, maybe they want to sell.

I called Platinum Motorsports (the builders) this morning to make sure it wasn't "borrowed" from them and dumped. They said nope. They were surprised it was in the state it was.

It has good company! The are Ferraris and Rolls Royces near by, but they are meticulously maintained, washed, detailed and some are covered.

It is probably owned now by someone with more dollars than scene. I saw a guy pull up on front of a casino in a Bugatti open the door hop out and go inside. It was still running. Then he comes back out about 15m later jumps in a cady and bails.

Do they know the owner? Maybe they want to sell since they don't drive the car? Can't be that many of them so should be easy to track.

Be prepared to pay a "SEMA show car" tax. If the guy is halfway reasonable on his pricing it might be a steal, though. Sub'ed for interest.
