Detail by owner
I’m asking $4,000.

THIS CAR IS EXEMPT FROM SMOG

I’m guessing the car has about 150,000 miles on the chassis. Thats based off the mileage I know the previous owner says they put on it. I’ve only put about 6,000 miles on the car since 2008 and 3,000 miles were driving it from VA to CA.
