Re: IML: Fw: Item #5136'55 limo

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

It may seem like they have exaggerated the condition of this car, but the pictures clearly show a vehicle with has been neglected and is truely forlorned. One could easily ignore the verbage and assume the worst. Still, this is a wonderful place to start a high quality restoration. This vehicle has great potential.
