Subject: [ASC McLaren ] Re: Who's brave enough to buy this one?

Body:
He did say he has all the hardware for the roof...below is everything
he told me about the car if anyone else is interested.

Hey Mike The speedometer says like 30 some thousand but the guy I
bought it from lived in Missouri so he sent the title to his Dad to
take it out of California and didn't knoiw the mileage so they told
the DMV they didn't know the mileage and you know how DMV's are. It
needs new interior I have all of it, it just needs new material and
it has an automatic tranny.But I really don't know what it will cost
to ship.I do have people sometimes make trips for me back East for
various stuff so we probably could work something out. Thanks for the
interest. It had no original wheels when I bought it.It had an auto
tranny and motor but need rebuilt.Top needs new cloth have all bows
and hardware hood had rip in sheetmetal from the fender damage on
driver fender(bought like that).No salvage title good title.All
wiring is there.
