AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:

It is a technically original car from a collection. The powerful V12 engine starts immediately, runs smoothly and is smoke-free. The distinctive, beautiful V12 sound makes every ride special.

Because the car comes from a collection and has seen little use, it is advised to first perform a service before driving it intensively.

TECHNICAL:

The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and correctly. The brakes function as they should.

At the latest inspection in Greenville, four new tires were mounted. Under the hood, the car is fully original. The chassis is still in its original coating and looks neat.

INTERIOR:

The interior is fully original and finished in particularly red leather – a rare and very attractive combination. Of course there are light signs of use, appropriate to the age of almost 50 years. It was a very complete specification at the time.

BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:

The exterior is in good condition. In November 2021 the car was fully repainted, giving the paintwork a fresh and well-kept appearance. Of course there are some light signs of wear.
The chrome trim presents itself neatly. Also under the hood and in the boot the car is in original condition.

DOCUMENTS:

Two keys present. Various service history stamps available (see photos). The American title is present and taxes and import duties have been paid, in accordance with the accompanying documentation.

PICKUP:

The car can be picked up in Almelo.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
