>> Unfortunately the car was a bust. I flew into San Jose on Wednesday

>> The California Edition was pretty heavily modified, a crank-style
>> sunroof was botched into it, the manifold + down pipe was replaced
>> with a header, an odd throttle body installed, some REAL dark tint and
>> power windows slapped on. The worst part is that EVERYTHING under the
>> hood was HORRIBLY rusted! Every single bolt looked like it spent the
>> last 23 years in NY State, not California! I stayed overnight and
>> checked out the car again in the morning to find that it has obviously
>> been re-painted and some repaired front end damage.
>> 
>> Being that I needed to drive the 3500 miles to San Diego and then home
>> I decided to pass on the car. The car's owner was ?ber-nice the whole
>> time and gave me a ride back to San Jose to pickup a rental car which
>> got me to San Diego (technically Rancho Bernardo) where I am now for a
>> friend's wedding.
>> 
>> I believe that the car's owner is keeping the car, even though three
>> years ago Jeff T. was in contact when she wanted to sell it but changed
> her mind!

>> More to come....
