[lomax07]

The before and after of my Cordovan Collectors Edition

Just picked this one up in Toms River, New Jersey yesterday. 101k

The interior of the Green one. It was incredibly clean. Have a problem with the clear coat peeling terribly on the trunk and a little on top of car. Left turn signal doesnt work at all.

 

[Right on the Mark]

Bummer about the collector!! Are you going to get the new one painted? And what color is it?

 

[lomax07]

I was hit by some guy who ran a light then fled the scene. I wanted that car sooooooo bad.
From the Collector i saved the shift knob im gonna use. And from a local yard I picked up a excellent condition collector steering wheel along with seat skins.
The color of the newest one is Medium Charcoal Green Metallic....paint code PZ

Hey I'm sorry for your Loss.. I think that you could probably buff that out and it should be good as new...

Good Luck with the new one.

That sucks
And Are you saying you didn't keep it to part it out. That sucks too.

Yea I let the insurance company keep it. It was hard but I dont have the place or experience to even begin trying to repair it. It would never been the same.

How much did you end up paying for the green one? I almost got it a few weeks ago as a flip car, but funds fell through. Looked it over good and all.

Mortally wounded Marks make me feel sad.

$2000 wit 101K. I drove it back to Baltimore, MD felt like I was riding on a magic carpet.

Yea I wish I could have. Itfmy pockets were in a better situation I would have stored it. Last year around this time i spent almost 3 days installing a transmission. snow, cold rain and just cold days. All work done on my back.

IDK the impact was so hard the other side even had a slight tilt in the rear wheel. When I was hit I was perfectly turned in the opposite direction. It was still driveable though after i hit the emergency fuel button in the trunk. I took a glance at it and it seemed like it needed the whole back wheel components replaced. Air ride was still intack as well.
