she's a real beauty. Inside, outside, underneath - everywhere. As we say: shock infatuation
analogous to Bo Derek : 10 - dream car.

| I will have to check but I could swear I have seen this car somewhere before - the Calvin and Hobbes decal on the rear end looks very familiar to me. |

| Did he ever tell anyone on the forum what he found out about the car based on his comment in the link I cited above? |

Location: Idaho - where men are men and spuds are spuds | Well, I nearly bought this car in 2019 when Gregg owned it. I think he bought it from JERSEYBOB, and was disappointed that alot of extras were not included in the purchase, after which JB tried to sell the stuff to him piece by piece - - - or something like that. Stumbling blocks for me were transportation costs from E coast to W coast and I found a nicer one before I consumated the purchase with Gregg. |

Yes, this was my car. I purchased it from a member of this board before I found this board. The Calvin and Hobbes is a dead giveaway . . .
If anyone is thinking about buying it I would be more than willing to offer any information/answer any questions.
The car appears to have changed hands a few times since I sold it to a gentleman in North Carolina in 2019 at the very beginning of the pandemic, and it also appears that a few modifications have been made since then as well.
I'm a little amused that the Calvin and Hobbes has stayed with her, but it's painted handwork, not a sticker.
Feel free to text me at 215-272-4407
