Default Jim H's old FIA 2045

Someone sent me a message through ClubCobra almost a year or so ago asking if I knew who had purchased ERA 2045 from Jim before he passed. If you are still interested in this information, I believe the current owner is thinking of selling. Send me your contact information via PM and I'll get the information off to the seller.

The car WAS for sale then it wasn't.
Sometimes it's just to hard to say Goodbye!

Out of curiosity, on that particular car if you are "tall" are you able to fit in to it?

I’d say yes. I’m 5’6” and had to move the seat about 4” just to reach the pedals.

Bill,
Eventually I’ll let the car go. Gary is a great guy along with Beretta. My wife was the person that talked me out of it saying “you’ll regret it as soon as it’s gone”. She’s never wrong…..
