I hate to let this work of art go, but my father left behind lots of debt so I must sell as soon as possible to settle his estate. One tiny hole in windshield. Title is clear. The vehicle is located in Largo/Seminole area off Park Blvd near intersection of Starkey Rd. (Luxury European Auto next to Dunkin Donuts).
