(295 Hp) engine is up to 50% more fuel efficient than pre 1981 specs. Recent work includes: New V-12 upgraded injector harness, all new spark plugs, new water pump and most belts and hoses have been replaced. The engine is purring the way that it should. The body is very solid, no rust and has been freshly detailed including new pinstripes. Undercoated and rock guarded on the lower panels. The interior is in pretty good shape and this car even has the special luggage rack system instead of a back seat, a rare option. The rear screen has just been replaced and the removable T-tops have just been relined. Well over $10,000 has been spent in the last three months with lots of attention to detail. Bonus original manual included.
