This AIV Roadster performs beautifully with no issues and is ready to be driven and enjoyed. The original owner always had this car services by SVT Technicians at his local Ford dealership. That is one of the great features of these is that any SVT FORD mechanic can work on it with no problem. Front tires were replaced a few thousand miles ago and rears were also replaced several years ago. The trunk will hold a few overnight bags when needed. This 98 came with one of the Roush Tool kits that some of the Roadsters got and everything seems to be in place and untouched. The original owners manual will come with the car. Check out under the hood and then be sure to listen to the video to hear this baby running!!!<br />

NEAR FLAWLESS, ULTRA LOW MILEAGE EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED THE GREAT AMERICAN ROADSTER <br />
This Red beauty was acquired recently from the original owner in Florida who took meticulous care of this car and stored it in a climate controlled garage .<br />
NEAR FLAWLESS best describes the body on this low mileage, 2 owners from new , Red AIV Roadster. I ran an Auto Check report no accidents , The red paint glistens and was just recently treated to a high end wax and buff so all you need to do is turn the key and enjoy! Chrome headlights, suspension, bumper guards and trim all look great. These cars do have tops which fold up and can be stored in the trunk. I have never driven one of these with the top on but I guess its nice to know it s there if you need it. It has zip out windows and a carrying case. Overall the body presents itself like it came off the factory showroom floor and you need to be ready to get stares, whistles, and questions wherever you go in this truly unique modern muscle machine. <br />
The Tan interior of this particular roadster is beautiful and looks close to new! Leather wrapped dash neatly laid out and the center console is trimmed in a beautiful burled wood. Very nice Eclipse AM/FM/CD player for your listening enjoyment with speakers mounted between the seats, but lets face it the real music is coming out of the dual rear pipes. Tan carpeting looks great and a brand new set of Panoz AIV Roadster mats were just added. Leather wrapped Nardi steering wheel with Panoz center cap. All of the gauges and electronics are working perfectly. Ice cold A/C if needed. Polished Shifter knob with Panoz logo. The interior is simplistic and thoughtfully designed so the driver can focus on enjoying the ride. Climb in this cockpit, strap in and enjoy the ride of your life! Check out the beautiful interior . <br />
