Only drivetrain component that may be OE is the rear - but it's so badly corroded that no numbers are present. TT shows 02D built X33 car. Green, green, green. Owner says that he's going to "give it a paint job" someday". Not interested in selling it. Not receptive to assistance in simply getting it out of the hole that it's in. Says that he bought it from OO, but won't divulge his name.
Actually nice guy to talk to. We had lunch with he and his wife (super nice). Just delusional (IMO) regarding the car. Another one of those "someday" cars :-(

I am assuming you got the VIN and ran the NCRS report on the original dealer. Did it come back to Baldwin Motor Co?
Seems quite odd the guy would let you look at the car and then have no interest in trying to at least preserve it even if not for sale. Quite a shame.
