I always loved these cars.When I got this it had sat under a car port for 14 yrs.
I did very little to it- did put a 700r in it- the 200metric was weak

They are one of the most comfortable cars that I have owned!

..and the shop is great.I built it 5 yrs ago for business, but is quickly becoming a place to work on my collection.
I always loved cars, so the shop was a little long term planning

Ah, I didn't realize that space was all yours. Now I'm jealous. A 5 year old shop has gotta have a ton of space for you to dedicate to this beauty. What kind of work did you build the shop for? Those doors look like they're for big rigs...

Have a friend who lands his small plane here and takes us up!
Nice pool-to bad no time to use:


The besT item I put in the shop, was a hoist! Talk about handy! Definitely worth the $1000
