    Great looking car, good colours, nice wheels too:) Perfect balance between sport and style.
    Somehow Borrani's work very well on blue Daytonas.
    Not to nit-pick, but is the right rear bumper aligned properly? Something didn't look quite right there somehow, at least to me.

    I wish it were in my garage!

    Gorgeous car, gents! That's the stuff dreams are made of right there! You guys did a stellar job...almost brings a tear to my eye seeing an old weathered (to say the least) slice of history being brought back to its original (or undoubtedly better) splendor! Cheers!

    The customer drove this car for a few hundred miles back East, then shipped it here to our show room in San Diego. It is now here for sale. If anyone's in the area, you're invited to stop in and see it!

    Does the car come with a tool roll, manuals, spare tire etc.?

    The car has a freshly rebuilt Borrani and a new XWX for a spare, no books or tools.

    Hi Gary,

    Out of curiosity, do Borrani wheels require periodic maintenance and are they prone to frequent flat tires? Also, what would be the relative cost per wheel to restore/rebuild?

    Other than Borrani's being labor intensive to clean, they are beautiful, but fragile on a high horsepower car. Stainless spokes help the wheel strength tremendously. But, they are not nearly as strong as a cast/forged wheels. But, they sure are pretty!
