Looks like a very nice car. The only odd thing that makes no sense to me is that they say it was owned by the original owner until recently. But then say that the A/C has "since been removed by a previous owner". So not a one owner car....a second owner recently? And why the hell would someone remove the A/C from a supposedly pristine survivor?

Since the A/C was a dealer installed item, depending on the skillset of the dealer, some of those installations were real hack jobs. This was probably the issue with this car, and removal was the only way to present the car to yield a strong bid. When I purchased my car, I had the option to get A/C installed. Thank God I insisted on see one! Once I saw the hacksawed condenser in the front trunk I passed.
