Is that a lease or a purchase?
Wasn't aware those were still in current production. |

Thanks All!! This is a rare car (I can actually say that) 1-of-2097 built, 1-of-9 fully verified in the National LS5 Registry - original all numbers matching with build sheet. It has an unsual combination of column-shift / bench seat and A/C!

Wow, super nice... I grew up driving (I should say abusing) my parents late 60's GM cars.
Wanna trade for a Miata?

Well the 'bones' of the car was all there but lot's of things worn out or needed replacing because former incorrect or missing parts. One example I put the car on a buddy's lift, wrapped the entire body with automotive grade plastic saran wrap. Rented an industrial steam cleaner and spent the next two weeks cleaning, replacing parts with NOS or similar stuff and detail painting.
My Eastwood's bill; the detail paint for the underside was $375. alone

Replaced the entire dash, restored the gauges, radio - had the speakers re-coned, paint fixed in a few places and then buffed out (laquer), etc, etc, etc. Pretty much everything needed attention in one way or another.

Well done with the Craigslist ad as well. I hate seeing nice cars advertised with crappy ads.
