More work done + Price reduction

Hi Nathan, do you have a price listed? I wasn't able to find one reading you ad. It would be a good idea for you to post one if you haven't done so already. Don't keep us in suspense. We know it will be an expensive car; such things are commonplace with nicely restored tii's. 

 

Thanks!

Excuse the price error. I thought I had included it.

 

The price is $37,000.
