Description:
I first bought this car in February 09, and will be making improvements along the way. After pulling the engine and running all the codes, we've confirmed that it's a numbers matching car (date code correct) with the original interior (red) with the outside color as Wimbledon White. 65AM2D21B41218F01C160763.
