I'm 6' 5" and 220. Head room with the hardtop on is a bit tight, but its likely going to spend the rest of its life suspended from the celing in my garage so I don't imagine that matters much. Once I...

I've been contemplating that modification to my 560 as well, specifically the rear muffler. No sense in driving a shiny classic with a rusty piece of pig iron hanging off the back of it I figure. As...

Not sure if you're offering to part them out further or sell the whole car(s), but I'd be interested in a front and rear bumper from either if you still have 'em. Thanks,
