If you lived around the Roanoke/Ft.Worth area, I swear I could have seen you. Driving mine home, I saw someone pulling out of 170 on it.

Yea I love how rare these cars are and I really love the color! And yes selling tons of parts off the Rs. Insurance gave me money and I kept it and sold my cammed motor, exhaust... And lots of other stuff but have plenty of great stuff to sell like almost new Coilovers, sideskirts etc.. To help fund some things on the legacy and pay it off

Thank God I payed mine off already. Just detailed the interior and now I need to change the tires. One is mismatched and is worn, and the rest are discountinued. At least I think it is.
