Act quickly as many cars of this caliber are sought after throughout the world!I have had an interesting question: Can you tell me how long you have owned the car and do you know how many ones it has had? Also wanted to know what you have in the way of service records and if you can see any evidence of rust on the vehicle? My answer: I have owned this car for more than 10 years and have records of previous owners and of original delivery in San Jose California. I have some service records. but not all. I have not seen any rust on the car. even in places where there is often evidence of rust. such as on top of the housings for the headlights. underneath the lip where the front fenders are spotwelded. inside the fenders of the rear wheels on the top where the trunk sheet metal joins the fender. Many cars have rust there when they come from areas where there are salted roads. I have avoided driving in the rain and always garaged. The P. O. showed the car and I have too.
