I have personally worked on this car and it is by FAR the most mint 4th gen I have ever seen, Steve is a very very picky guy and has basically replaced every single bolt in this car with brand new OEM stuff.

No corners cut on this car!

PS I hate you for thinking of selling the car, and remind me to kick u in the nuts for it also.

Knowing the car, the roller itself is worth about 6k on its own, whole car about 15k. Sucks its come to this Steve, stupid government BS
