Built for speed - great fun - much faster version of the iconic LC. Not one for the purists as modified for fun and adrenaline filled use so no knit picking please!
Selling as I have bought a new dream project so need to sell a number of cars in my collection. See other ads for pro-touring Mustang if that is your thing (it’s a Ford right?)
Happy to talk to serious buyers.
