Beautiful car, but what a price! One of my all time faves. Note that it has hydraulic brakes! LOL

That is one beautiful car . . . just LOVE how long and sleek it is from the passenger compartment back. Wonderful.

I hate the use of the word restored when this car is is modified at so many points of the drivetrain. I think the automatic transmission is just not right and the seller will not get near what he's asking. But I've been wrong before.

I agree with Frank, the car has been modified, not restored. While it is beautiful, you don't have to look too closely to see that it is not in it's original configuration.

Yes, That's a nice looking car. I was wondering if that car will fetch that kinda money , I wonder what a restored one would bring?

That is truly a beautiful car.

The convertible below it is also very nice, but somehow the
coupe looks sleeker and better.

.02 cents from - Featured car = Not at that price (Modified) Your car could be, but I hope I get to ride before you would consider selling it. How about that ride at Dawsonville next October ??? BTW Could I possibly park my '37 Z next to yours and Vics at Whiskey Meet ? Pictures to you and Vic soon !!! jiml...

I'll agree with this also. While it is a beautiful car they use the word "restored" loosely.

I'd much rather put up with the "hassle" of the original manual transmission.

Hi Jim, I hope my '39 LZ Convertible is ready to make the trip up to Dawsonville next year. I know I'd be in excellent company parking with you and Ken.

Merry Christmas.
