Hi. I bought the car as it was being finished in the resto shop (the owner was going on a long taxpayer-paid vacation, and wouldn't need a car where he was going. It was already painted when I went to see it- after someone in his family had heard about me and called me to appraise the car for them so they could sell it on his behalf. I did, and a few3 months later they called and asked if I was interested in it. They hadn't been able to sell it with the fees still owed to the shop. After I found out what was owed vs. what it was worth, I made a deal with them and took care of the costs. So I never saw it before paint either. Sorry. I will pm you with the other info (VIN, price, etc)
Mike
