·Paint is 9.8+ out of10. It’s beautiful even as close as afew inches. It has a very slight metallic flake in the sun.

·The car is built to havethat old school look - drive to work look during the week, but take it to thedragstrip on the weekends.

·It’s a head turner andgets thumbs up everywhere it goes. Manypeople have never even seen one. Therewere not many built, and they have an interesting history.
