A Brief History
I bought this car on June 2nd 2007 in Plainfield Illinois. Then I drove 1600 miles home to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
When I bought it, the Formula decals were absent and it had dark grey GTA rims on it.
DECALS AND RIMS/TIRES
DECALS
NO DECALS with GTA RIMS
Although it has 115K miles in it---it drives like new. Virtually the entire car has been restored to better then new condition.
Every major mechanical system on the car was rebuilt and in some cases upgraded to better then stock.
Lots of time was spent doing the body and paint. Arctic white PPG.
These pictures do not do it justice.
