    I remember that car. Saw it at Carlisle and considered it but really wasn't looking for a PC again just yet. This car was/is a great foundation and looks like it's cleaned up nice. I am guessing Aaron purchased it and you got it from him? That would make you the 4th/5th owner as the lady Marcy from Pa got it from the original owners nephew. Good luck with it. Very nice car.

    Sounds spot on. Aaron lives about 5 blocks from me now. How did it look when you saw it? We're thinking at some point the front seats were swapped out before it was sold. These ones are pretty hammered and just don't match the rest of the car as far as wear.

    If you can take pictures of the condition of the seats, I can tell you whether they are the same ones that were in it. Seats I recalls seeing were decent. Typical PC Recaro wear, especially down the centers. I don't recall any holes, etc, but did wear heavily in the centers. Overall the car was all there. In fact I would have loved to work a deal for the car, but felt the asking price was a little high given the attention it was going to need. Then it wound up on ebay a number of times and I never contacted the seller. Good score, I like it a lot. Was exactly the way I would have wanted. V8/Auto/No Air
