Having posted an ad and then backed out last year, I've made a final decision
and will sell the car. Also available is a home built 20' enclosed trailer
which I've used to haul the car in.
Pictures of the car can be seen at my website

Asking $12,000 for the car and $2,000 for the trailer or $13,500 for both.
