Good luck with your sale.
My intro for the ad:
#5606 has been maintained by Ralph Suarez, (San Diego Pantera Club officer) who lives nearby. The vehicle has about 78500 miles on it. #5606 was sold new in Los Angeles and is rust free and numbers matching. I have a Marti report for the vehicle.
#5606 has factory 15" wheels, 8 and 10 width with near new (less then 1000 miles) Toyo tires on it. I just renewed the California registration this month. The car is "dialed in" and runs beautifully and reliably. The car includes factory service manuals, and factory Service bulletins. I have the sun visors, wiper blades, engine cover trim pieces, rear tub (in great shape) front license plate bracket, owners manual, extra brake rotors, spare ZF gaskets and a new collapsible spare to go with the vehicle. Tom Tajaarda autographed a book of Pantera test drive reviews for me. There are some miscellaneous other items to go with the car that escape my memory right now.
I believe the vehicle to be accident free. I walked around it with a magnet and everywhere I touched the vehicle with it, the magnet stuck.
The A/C works beautifully and blows cold. All lights, turn signals, etc. work.
PRICE: $43000
NOTE: The description of the vehicle needs to reflect the new Toyo Proxes 4's and ST's that I put on the vehicle less then 1000 miles ago.
I hope this helps:
Here is the salient information that I provided to Chuck. This is from the flyer of the second owner of #5606. (I bought #5606 in October of 2008.) He owned the vehicle for 29 years. He bought it from the 1st owner who was an executive at Paramount Movie Studios.
