ok guys, I did see the car in person a few minutes ago. Its really quite
stunning if you like custom tigers. Neat car. I took about 20 pictures and
crawled all around it as best I could without touching. don't know much
else to say but I do have the sellers name, car specifics and seller
contact info if anyone is interested. Do not know the asking price. He
acted if someone was interested just to call. Granted there is an ad and im
sure anyone could call. Seller/Owner is also here in OKC.
Id post pictures but we can do that, so all I can tell you is, its purty.
