I purchased this car in May of 2013 after realizing I had sold off all my Italian cars and needed something for last year’s Italian Stampede. After having owned a lower mile CS prior to this one I decided that this was the perfect car for me to actually drive without any concern about eroding its perceived value. So, if you’re looking for a low mile garage queen this ain’t it and if you’re looking for a 100% flawless car, this ain’t it. It is however, a well cared for and mechanically stellar CS that you can drive as much as you like for as long as you choose to.

Service:
11/26/13 – oil service, header/cat replacement (L side), New 02 sensors (4)
8/7/13 – resolve oil overfill, drive belt idler adjustment, AC recharge, Updated trans mount install, installed 4 new Bridgestone RE11’s (have about 3k on them and are better than 85%)
5/28/13 – PPI done at Cavallo Motorsports*, Ball joints replaced, alignment done to factory spec
4/6/13 – Cam belt and fluid service, filter replacement, brake system flush
Prior service – was performed on annual basis at F&M in L.A., I confirmed that the clutch had been replaced and that the car had been regularly serviced.

*The PPI was conducted at my expense at Cavallo and I elected to have the ball joints replaced with Hill Engineering bits, and asked that everything that look suspect be replaced. The clutch wear was 23% and compression was as follows: Cyl 1 – 235, Cyl 2 – 240, Cyl 3 – 235, Cyl 4 – 240, Cyl 5 – 235, Cyl 6 – 240, Cyl 7 – 230, Cyl 8 – 235. SD2 readout was clean.

Items to note:
- The car has an imperfection on the passenger corner of the nose, I’m not 100% certain that it made its way through the clear bra but it may have. It is less than a pinky nail in diameter.
- The car also has a tiny chip on the fuel door and one along the leading edge of the driver’s door but both are nearly impossible to catch on pictures.
- The passenger airbag cover is a bit wavy but really not worth replacing at this point.

Thanks! I won't be able to make it this weekend, too much on my plate but appreciate the invite. I'll reach out on the potential home and appreciate the interest.

Car is in Tucson and unfortunately I won't be able to make it to Phx over the weekend.

 

Hey Allen, thanks so much. I hope you found a suitable RS

 

Thanks Charles, very kind of you.

 

This isn't a dealer ad, it's a private owner ad. I think what may have happened is that I copied and pasted the ad from a word document. I simply don't have the time to re-enter the ad on every forum I visit.

Mkeenly- I'm using Mozilla and while it's cluttered with gibberish at the top the ad is readable and the link works for pics.

 

Car is now up on eBay and listed at 119K no reserve.
