    one owner... did it come with any original owner type goodies like bill of sale or original title or other stuff? my dodge had a booklet in the glove box with the original owners name on it and it was supposed to be used for your maintenance with little coupons when you got the oil changed

    Man, that is AWESOME!!! Would you take $4001.00? A dollar profit for your troubles? :D

    I think you should drive it just like it is, that is one good looking car!
