Black Car!

Something is really bothering me about this car!!!!!

It appears to be perfect.....almost fully documented....but just simply a color change to black?

ever heard of a car that is pretty much perfect in every way except the paint?

Check it out...

That's a nice car, regardless of the color! I can't quite read the trim tag though... What color was it before?

War Bonnet Yellow is what I think it says. It is difficult to read though.

I also have NEVER seen free shipping on a car before. I am sure it has happened but I have never seen it.
Interesting!

Nice car for sure; doesn't sound like any LS5 I've ever heard before. Sounds like solid lifters and a bigger cam than stock. Stunning car that I'd be thrilled to own.

989 is War Bonnet Yellow. You're looking at a magnificent (and expensive) paint job in a non-stock color.

My 75 was a great color to start with Milli Miglia Red but the PO still changed it to black. I like black so I'm OK with it.

Oh please know I am not knocking the car because it is painted black when it is tagged war bonnet. I just find it bizzare that a car so perfect or appears perfect has a color change. I have never seen one like this. They usually have a lot wrong with them including a fake trim tag saying SPEC paint.

Hey you! Yeah my trips are done for now so I am back.

Stay tuned I have a lot of mail I opened up and a lot of stuff has come in regarding my RED car. I will be bumping some old threads soon.

Anyway....I am still fascinated about this black car. It is REALLY REALLY nice.....I do wonder what they will take for it.

Door buzzer

Take a look in the video....

I didn't know there is a door buzzer in the '71.

Is it supposed to sound like a horn blowing?

If so, looks like that is another thing i need fixed. Mine doesn't make a peep.

Ignition key warning buzzer. I do not believe this is under the operations section, just performance verification.

I hate that some places have "call for pricing" on their websites. I am gonna pick up the phone and ask.

Hold on a moment. Then we can have a guessing pool here and see who is closest without going over.

Well I got my answer!

HAHAHA! That was fast.

I spoke with some guy there who was nice and I got the price WITH enclosed shipping.

Let's hear some guesses!

I never understood the purpose of opening new threads when I have information that is related to an older thread I have. Anyway, doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't break forum guidelines it should be fine.

Anyway.....

Name your price on this black car who want to play!
