@gulfview – How is the running gear and clutch? ...
Our assistant drove the vehicle to obtain the photos and driving video and said that it surprisingly drove very well. (He has a Mustang as a daily driver, so he is used to top performance) This vehicle is brought to us on consignment and has been garage kept for several years. The owner is an avid car collector in the NC area.
