Oh man, it looks sweet. I want it soooooo bad. Scout Drivin' Rebel needs to buy it so that it will be down in this neck of the woods. Then when he tires of it, I will buy it from him.

What is the story on the missing decals?

Not including my wife's Commander, I am up to eleven now. The secret is that I work and she stays home with the kids, so she doesn't get a whole lot of say on such matters. As long as I don't ignore things that the house needs, she doesn't complain other than to say that my cars are all ugly.

think it was a light accident & repaint.
decals were never put back on.
dealers never knew where to get the decals since there were no part #'s

WOW! Always wanted a GP car. T-top too. Very cool. I really liked them even more after I saw David's GP car. I think it's in Fl now. Anyway, isn't $10K a little steep? I really don't know the value on them. It would look nice sitting next to my '86 ASC and the other SVOs. My wife's at wits end too. Were up to 15 including 3 daily drivers.

My wife stays home with my boy and doesnt work either. I think that's the problem, she knows she doesn't have much say. She's not a car person, and just can't understand.

My wife works... and at the moment I don't (stupid economy

) But she is very supportive of the whole car hobby. When we were talking marriage I asked her if she was going to be "one of these women who make the guy sell his cars and motorcycle. She replied, "Every good woman knows a man has to have his toys. If he doesn't, he finds something else to play with, and she usually has breasts."

Mike, where on earth do you house 15 cars ? I store 3 @ $375 @ month, 2 in our own garage and my wife's daily driver, the Jeep, outdoors in our driveway. where son's Mazda-3 also "lives" I cannot imagine storing 15 cars!!

You must own a farn, in Elmhurst ? !

like the ad says, 10 grand.

down side =does need new decals & interior is a little faded(typical of red int.'s).
up side= it has 50 grand on the odometer, rare red int(for gp cars atleast), all asc features still intact(he has the light covers, just not installed), lacks the undesirable options(air, cruise)...and lets not forget it is 1 of 30 built!

I just came in from jumping up and down on the roof of a capri

It sure was HARD and not soft when I slipped and fall on my ass

If you did that to a hardtop convertible, it would have been SOFT!

Remember Mike there were not enough white solid roof manual trans cars to go around so they had to take the remaining 27 whites and 3 silvers in any trans, top and int color combo.
