Thing for sale on ebay, check out the paint job...yes, the pedals are painted yellow. I thought the aficionados here would find it amusing, since you all seem to have an incredible attention to detail Smile .

Say what you will about the pedals, but I for one DIG the way this guy is selling his car! Lots of revealing pictures of the paint and various flaws, and who needs to ask whether the engine works when you can WATCH the VIDEO! Man, I wish more sellers would do that.


Plus, I dig the colormatched floor. Seriously.

It does take an attention to detail to make sure you get EVERYTHING painted.
Nice that you get a set of hubcaps that won't fit.
I feel for the person that has to try and get all that paint off.
