Default Nice XC Coupe, a little rust.
Someone sent me this photo of an XC coupe, it has a bit of rust but I've been assured most of it will buff right out. It has excellent chrome. A bargain at 15 grand, all matching numbers but missing its compliance plate (no motor).

Do you have the contact details for the seller? I’d love to have this in my collection, right next to my FJ.
