I've known about the car that Patrick is refering to in this thread for 5 or 6 years now. The owner of the car does not need the money and is in no panic to sell it. His mechanic contacts me from time-to-time asking what I think it is worth. He always wants $5,000 - $10,000 more than what the market is on the car at the time, so it never sells. I know of 2 others who have had the same experience as I have with the car. Maybe Patrick will get lucky this time and the car will "really" be available. Good luck! Let us know how you make out
