haha that's pretty nice of u to copy all that out of street commies to help this guy's sale. is this car a genuine vl calais turbo on the build plates? or genuine vl calais? or is it an exec body or something? why the window winders if it is genuine calais?

People just dont understand what sort of money goes into show cars, race cars and street cars... Thats why alot of people drive shi t boxes and bag out other peoples cars that are 10 times better than their own.... Sad...

Good looking car, but in all honesty who would spend 50k + on a vl and throw exec doors on it without electrics! Seems stupid to me... But anyway good luck with the sale, mint looking ride none the less.
