The hood scoop, steel wheels, and the hub caps would make me very
suspicious of that thing if it pulled up to me. /grin
It looks like a sleeper trying to get noticed. It's not bad. I'd
probably ruin it with a simple black pin stripe.

On a side note, I too get annoyed by the "Only 1 of xyz produced with
bla, bla...". Sheesh, my car is the only one of it's kind with MY SERIAL
NUMBER! <-- very rare indeed.
Those guys on Barrett-Jackson can get really stupid sometimes. Every car
there is somehow a rare one. If not they make up something and Ooo, it's
rare.

Sometimes they redeem themselves with a comment about weather or not
it's a car that is sought after.

I completely agree!

I say buy the car because you like it, not because it's "rare."

Did you know FE427Cat from AOL CC? Saw him online around Christmas
and talked a bit, he still has it.

On AIM. Still see lots of the people from there pop on and off every
once in a while.
