I have loved owning this beautiful car for 14 years, and the gentleman from whom I purchased it in 2005 loved owning it for 22 years.  He had a complete frame-off performed on it (3 years prior to selling it) by the Naber Bros in Houston when his wife passed away; he never drove it hence. It was immaculate when I got it, and showed 47,960 miles on the odometer (actual unkown).  I have strived to keep it that way… driving it approx 2,000 careful miles in the 14 years that I’ve owned it.  It is time for someone else to enjoy this beauty.
