Videos I sent to the website controller to be uploaded. Basically, you have my hand on the engine being cold turning on the fuel pump pulling the choke out turn down the ignition push the button and starting.
What’s the current status of your title in transit? Any videos?
Is there any evidence that this beautiful car runs as validated by a few short cell-phone videos showing that the engine turns over and starts and that the car can be several miles? Since you are able to technically upload such outstanding pictures, would you also be able to upload a few videos that would de-risk receiving a buyer's premium on the verification of the functionality of this exceptional classic.
Are you able to upload of send any videos on driving and hearing the engine and your best method of cold-starting this beautiful car ; thank you - [email protected]; thank you

@LMichaelKersey139 – Why do you have two different plates on the car ( Florida / California ) ...
When I purchased the car ahead on the front license plate, I never took it off since it doesn’t matter in the state of Florida
Why do you have two different plates on the car ( Florida / California )
The comment about the interior splitting is not accurate. It is a foam fabric covering that has delaminated and is going to be replaced tomorrow with another self adhesive fabric over the crossmember. The front convertible top has a trim piece that has unglued and has been repaired not part of the weatherproofing of the convertible top. Just a trim piece. The exterior paint is really nice shape so if you see something when you blow up the picture you want to have another photo taken I’d be happy to add
