Description:
|
Hi all. I've decided to sell my Unique Motorcars 427SC. The reasons I'm selling are really three fold: (1) ongoing business discussions for a 2-3 year expat assignment to Europe, (2) I've moved into downtown Atlanta with limited parking and horrible traffic, and (3) the car is "done" in terms of upgrades and being project-focused I'll need a new challenge.
************************************************** ******************
Pricing
Originally listed at $38k in consignment. I have dropped it to $34k as a direct sale.
Car Summary
The car was built in 2000 by Bruce Botti of Botti Enterprise in Connecticut as a Deluxe Palet Kit 427SC from Unique Motorcars. Bruce was an authorized builder for Unique Motorcars and completed Cobras for several of Unique's customers in the Northeast. My car was Bruce's personal demo car and I purchased it in 2001. I've performance several key "upgrades" over the years, including: new high performance engine from Souther Automotive, Superformance seats, Autometer gauges, and Bilstein/Hypercoil suspention in October 2004.

Hi. I've received a good amount of interest the car from people since Friday. Unfortunately I am travelling this week for business in Europe with limited access to new pictures. In the mean time feel free to email me and I'll provide whatever information I have with me.

I've received a lot of interest and today received a firm offer with a scheduled inspection and hopeful purchase on next Monday, 21APR. If that purchase does not go through for some reason, I'll be sure to update this listing.
