In close to new condition considering its age!
Bright metallic champagne gold paint code 473 available for 2 years only. It's an extremely gorgeous color combo. Pics don't do the car justice.
Sporting an LED headlight upgrade, but also included are the original headlights
The car is a two owner (prior to me) vehicle with service records. Documented miles and carfax to support ownership and mileage.
The price on the car is based on the rarity, condition, color, miles, original wheels, service records and Nada and Hagerty valuation guides etc
You may not see one as clean as this. It doesn't get much better. Last year of production built in last quarter of 1984 and rolled out of the factory in Germany as a special order to be shipped to California
Original California car with no rust
I'm always eager to answer any questions please send me a message through eBay so we can exchange numbers.
I reserve the right to remove the auction at any time for any reason. I strongly urge interested parties to contact me as it seems as this is the best way to get the car. In the past motivated buyers have called me and struck a deal right there on the phone.
This car is going up in value every year. I would not be surprised at all if the "buy it now" option is applied to this auction as the car is very fairly priced. Do your research.
Insurance is unbelievably cheap with collector car insurance. If you are buying this car and are not familiar with this type of automobile insurance look into it. (Barrett Jackson, State Farm, Hagerty, JC Taylor, Chubb, Grundy, AAA)
