Oh my gosh Rick!  Why am I slaving so hard to build my own Super Coupe when you have it for sale!!!  Beautiful car.  I want it.

Is the paint original or repaint?  All options work (i.e. A/C looks like R134)?

Paint is original except for roof. That was redone due to a repair shop being careless.
All the options work fine. I'm unsure on the A/C as to if it's R134 or not. I used it this past Sunday and it blows nice and cold.
Anyone buying this will be smiling ear to ear. I really don't want to sell it but my wife insists...I will still have three rides left.

Hi everyone. Now that the nice weather is back I thought I'd bring my ad back to the top.
I really hate to sell this, but it's time to move on.
This car needs nothing and is ready to run with the best of them.

Such a beautiful, well executed Bird.  You should have no problem selling this, If I won the lottery I would take it off your hands.

So what's the new toy that makes this Badbird sit in on weekends with nothing to do?

Nice bird, good luck with the sale

Cash talks! Car really needs nothing (but a proud owner) and I didn't cut any corners building it. I have a lot more invested (who doesn't?) than I'm asking.
Call me if you want to talk further.
