 I'm working on gathering my pics, as well as getting it on a lift in the next few days to get some pics of that, and maybe even put a video together.  For now, I just have to email what I have to whoever is interested.  Mike, I sent you some the other day directly. 
VIN is #2927.  I'm sad to sell too.  I love the car, and have had a blast.

 All,

I haven't seen it in years but I remember this as being a very nice car indeed. 

Matt--how about posting some pics? What is the VIN? It's probably in the registry. 

Sad to see you selling it....
