The reason for selling is to finish another project. Car was built by Pitbull Inc. I expect a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of auction end unless agreed to before auction end. Pay pal will not be accepted as final payment. the car does not leave until there is green in our hands. Now for the nasty stuff. Full payment is expected within 10 days of the auctions end. The buyer is responsible for making shipping arrangements if necessary. I reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason as the car is for sale locally. Please feel free to schedule a time to come check the car out if you are interested in it. Do not bid on the car site unseen then complain about minor details when you get it. You are buying the car AS-IS WHERE-IS No warranties expressed or implied. In all honesty you are buying a full custom hot rod, it's not for the faint of heart and you need to have some mechanical know how to own a vehicle of this caliber. It's not a brand new vehicle that you take to the dealership every three months to have some service done and be on your way.
