New owner

after a year of lurking and reading about this car, i finally pulled the trigger on a BS.....pics and details to follow.

I was seconds away from getting Chuck's car and i think his car is the best deal out there right now.....someone should pick it up and save themselves alot of time dealing with dealers/owners.

pics attached....odometer says 50 miles and license plate says the rest. Andre has been a pleasure to deal with, unlike those morons at Fletcher Jones.

being shipped with Newman International...car doesnt leave the closed truck, is covered, strapped by the wheels not the axles. Seems the trucking company was started by the family of a guy who had multiple Rolls Royces and didnt trust any company with his cars. Should arrive next week.

Wow 50 miles! Fantastic, be sure to break it in right!
Drive it like you stole it .... based on the sticker versus what you paid, you probably did.

I bought this one from covercraft:




Here's the info on the cover: http://www.covercraft.com/Form-Fit.htm

well.....let's just say they wont be selling the other one due to a museum-like showroom they have, and want to put the remaining BS in there. It has 480 miles but noone will know or care.
