From The Seller
“I purchased this vehicle from a client who was no longer able to drive a manual. Being that I know the history and condition, I want it to go to an enthusiast who will continue to care for the vehicle. To prepare it for sale, we have detailed and performed paint correction, fresh service and replaced the clutch, flywheel, rear main seal, left axle and installed an LN IMS bearing kit. The total service cost was $6,966.00 and is reflected in a service record shown in the photo gallery. GLWB!”
