So I'm for sale! What do you get with me other than a great attitude in life? Well let me tell you about me because I'm one of a kind and you'll never find a car quite like me.
I've been professionally appraised for 75K and the appraiser "Jerry Henderson" said he was being fair with that estimate and thinks I should be worth more.
Bottom line is, I'm all natural baby! My interior is the same interior as I was made with and it is impeccable. My engine purrs like a kitten and you can stand a nickel sitting straight up and it won't fall. How's that for purring? Look we'll be here all day if I told you everything I still have in me so it's probably easier to tell you what is new on me.

Now here's where it gets interesting. I'm a custom order baby, from the fact-o-ry. I'm a Series T, 2nd series Standard Family Sedan. But the family sedan came stock with wood wheels and didn't have suicide doors. I know! That's what makes me so GREAT! Did I mention that it didn't come with the two spare tires on my side either, well I did now! Basically I have all the luxury features of the Club Sedan but on a 119" wheel base with rear suicide doors. How's that for RARE?
See tons of pictures of me taken on 12/3/14 during my professional appraisal, below!
