For Sale - Owners Description:

"The Car That Made Tom Cruise Famous," except this is first year (1978) and a better color.  BLUMAXX ("Pour le Merite" and goes with car) has 49,250 miles from new, with last 37K under my kind care and feeding.  As delivered from factory, except Tom Cloutier Custom exhaust (single rear muffler with SS tips) and larger front sway bar (with zirc fittings).  Minerva Blau paint is ($1000) option; 205mm Bosch lights are dealer option.  Recent rear Bilsteins and Bosch alternator.  Black 'n' Tan interior perfect.  No rips, tears, pulls or worn spots.  Custom floor mats all around; rear seats never used.  Bridgestone RE730s with lots of tread.  Always well waxed and stored in heated garage, or (lately, with addition of new used car) in full shelter.  Far less than the usual "wear and tear," but light scratches (no bare metal) below R door.  Otherwise, no dents, dings, collisions or "problem" areas.  Car absolutely runs better and stronger than new.  Rare, robust and reliable, with a unique rumble.  A man's car, just no longer this 66-year old.  According to R&T review in late 1977, "Possibly the best GT ever."  Porsche: There is no substitute.  $7900.  Ed Trottier (pcaBRR; 928OC).
