The Vehicle is legally registered/titled in the State of Florida. This is a REPLICA – not an original. Purists, posers, resellers, and wannabes please do not waste my time with 50 questions. All the information you need is here – this is not a Vintage/JPS. I do not negotiate over the phone and I value my time. Make arrangements, come see/drive the car, and then we can talk.
More pics to come soon. Gauging initial interest here before it goes up on auction block. Here is a quick “teaser” video I’m currently working on – more to come (incl. pics of undercarriage and cold start video.
