Len has informed me that he has now lowered the price of the car to $45,000, the trailer is now $12,000 and not included in the sale. The trailer is custom built for the Z so he doesn't think it would fit other vehicles.

 

So if someone want a trailer or a Z get in contact with Len.

Having seen this up close and getting the rundown on it from Len a few years ago, I can say it's worth every cent! It's immaculate and has had the TLC of a true expert, enthusiast, genius. Best of luck with the sale Len.

It doesn't seem to have a full roll cage??? Isn't a proper cage essential for Targa?
