Default Contemporary w/ 427 TP

Bill Malone's car.

Per many of the recent threads where we all try to guess the price or auctionability of various cars, I prefer not to disclose the price. I can say this: it is not unreasonable and I think the right buyer will be very pleased with the car.

More pictures in my gallery. Be happy to send additional on request. My e-mail address is bill.malone@netzero.net.

Red Contemporary, built in 1992 by Don Borders. Sat unused for many years. I bought the car in April 2002. It had 3000 miles on it at that point and I have put approximately 9000 more on it myself. The motor has now 12,000 since rebuild.
