Hi Brian

I think you will find lots of good history on this car, I will send the advertisements from the last few times it sold.

Nice car, congratulations.

A recent picture (after the ride height was corrected).

Also, since the motor was previously discussed, we've obtained a couple more pictures of the engine's pad stamp when the car was found in 1993. # CE971700.

Update: We've been in talks with the original selling dealer's son -- this car was reportedly his demonstrator, and he is planning to pay us a visit this fall to examine the car and share his memories of the six months he drove it. Combined with the authentication interview/letter we obtained from the first retail owner, this 18 month research project one is nearly complete...

Brian,

My client just recently SOLD her back....to RK.
I am so glad I got the chance to improved her with finding and restoring the correct parts that were taken off of her along the way since Jim Brady owned her. Hope this does not happen to her again.

Reminds me of a cartoon, maybe in Playboy years ago, showing a groom carrying his virgin bride across the threshold and she says, &quot;I hate to be touched.&quot;
