It still amazes me that there are still cars out there like this. God bless all those who store these cars for us and don't drive them.

Nice find, I was looked for a commemorative convert and couldn't find one I liked, so I got the anniversary edition.

Nice find, my favorite color.

My CE coupe had just under 9k on it when I bought it 4 1/2 years ago. They're out there.

Great looking car, good find! I love guys who buy the cars then not drive them, and donate them to others who will drive them and enjoy them!

This is a GREAT Country!
