My name is Jim Higham and I am listing this car on the owner's behalf, he is had a stroke which has affected his eyesight which in turn won't allow him to drive. The car has been redone by Iceman Enterprises who is a top local street rod builder and has been for many years.
I can help the buyer with transportation and customs clearance arrangements if required.
