The AC MK IV "AK1120" listed was sold new by our dealership.......it was received with shipping damage from unloading at the port. They drove it out of the container without ramps and dropped it on the oil cooler scoop pushing the fenders and nose up. We estimated almost 10K to repair. Mike George bought it damaged and had it repaired by a guy who later worked at my restoration shop. I have photos of the damage. I will bet the car is represented by the auction company as "mint, never dinged!"

And it definitely did NOT have "factory air conditioning"!!!! "Four speed" T10?!?! And then it's a "four speed T5"!

Mike passed away a couple years ago and most of his collection was sold off at auction. While it my still be on the New York title in Mike's name it has had another owner (at least one additional) who is now selling it. I hate these oversold auction companies descriptions.
