I spent an hour talking with Lee on Thursday while checking out his car, and was blown away at the differences CA emission built W30's had over 49 state versions. In fact part of the reason the car was delivered as a hard top the first time we postualed was because the line had to effectively halt while they built these CA destined smog cars with all their subtle unique features and stuff got mixed up like striping etc. The length he went to to make the car 100% nails on in that respect as well as everything else on it was truly impressive.

On an aside I didn't get the hype aspect at all, just a guy who bought a car for 600.00 thirty five years ago,squirreled NOS parts away for decades, did it to the nines, watched his kids grow up in it and then bid it farewell. Cool story actually with lot's of susbstance IMO.
