This particular car:

This particular vehicle was purchased by its current owner in 2012 and has been maintained in a climate controlled facility during his tenure of ownership.

A thorough and complete complete bumper to bumper mechanical sorting was conducted by Emerald City Automotive in Gatherburg Maryland in February of 2013.

An open checkbook was used to address any and all maintenance items that the vehicle needed as the owner wanted this car to run and drive as nice as it looked.

The documentation of the work performed by Emerald City Automotive totaling nearly nearly $18,000.00 will go with the sale of the vehicle.

Needless to say, he cars runs and drives beautifully and I personally drove the car more than 40 miles this past week including highway driving.

Original air suspension was converted from air suspension to springs by second owner for reliability.

Cosmetically the car is in exceptional condition both inside and out.

Black exterior paint has a deep show quality shine and is well compliment by bright and clear bright-work all around

Stainless steel roof is also in excellent condition.

Soft black leather interior shows beautifully and is well complimented by sheepskin rugs and gorgeous chrome accents.

This is an absolutely gorgeous example.

If you are on the market for a car that does not attract attention, his IS NOT the car for you.

I literally cannot drive this vehicle one block without the acknowledgment from other motorists and pedestrians.

This car is a movie star !!!
