Looks pretty good to me though I'm not very fond of the red interior. If you're serious about it, I could try to make a trip down on Sunday and have a look. Please send me note if you're interested and let me know what you'd like checked over.

me neither. About the only one I can tolerate is the dark red... called "Oxblood". It's not all that bad.

It turns heads I am sure. Could you live with driving it on a Sunday afternoon for years to come? You may wish it looked stock after awhile. Of course, you could always bring it back to stock appearance. I'd be interested if the price were right - you must decide. Good luck!

I like the car a lot, but I think the paint would probably get old pretty soon. I'm more into a stock look. At the right price it would be worth considering. I live in San Jose, If you want me to take a look at it drop me an email.

I would be interested in you looking at that car and letting us know the condition.

Looks like a good car, but I think that I too would get tired of the paint scheme...
