Sam,

What a time capsule. You are a very luck man. Great story, and to get to talk with the original owner and get the history 1st hand to boot. All of the vintage photos.

The black with red interior combination is stunning, but the red stripe just sets it off. Congradulations!!!

I do believe that if I pulled up next to you at a light and heard that exhaust, I would think twice.
