Rep Power: 0 | I know the owner relatively well and was at the unveiling party for this car in Monterey this last weekend. I can say that I thought it looked far better in person than it did in photos. Remember, looks are subjective. This is the owner's dream car and he is going to enjoy it to its fullest. |
