CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA CAR– we found and researched the history of this car in the USA ourselves (its now a big part of our business to find and import exceptional muscle car classics for clients). We were looking for one for us and had to have this incredible piece of muscle car history. We found it in California and imported the car for ourselves to keep as we know how hard they are to find. Only because our business is expanding have we decided we will have to part with it.

ALL IMPORT PAPERS, US TITLE AND EXTENSIVE HISTORY OF CAR IN THE USA come with the car.
Nothing other than the usual roadworthy should be required to register this car.
