The only defect in that photo that I see is that it's taken in a driveway other than mine.

I'm honestly not partial to that era Speedsters, but she's a beauty.

That car is absolutely terrible. I cannot imagine how embarrassed you must be to have it parked in your driveway. Your neighbors must have all closed their blinds and started using the back doors of their homes so as not to see it.
I feel so badly for you and your neighbors that I am willing to come haul it away. The joy that it will bring to you and your friends to no longer have to deal with that eyesore is all that I need for payment. I INSIST! I will not accept ANY payment for removal of this vehicle.

I'm going to take some more pics this weekend when I get it out for a nice long drive. The car is as close to perfect as one could have hoped for. It is completely original and an absolute thrill to drive. I have been looking for almost six years for this car and have walked away from two in the past two years because they weren't quite up to snuff. I have literally had to look hard for any flaws, the only obvious one being a very small blemish on the front hood where the previous owner closed the hood on a parcel that was too large and created a small push up type dent. So small it's not worth getting fixed. In fact, my only problem is trying to find some things to improve/work on for my own enjoyment. I know, tough spot to be in but I'll manage.
