That should be a fun car to drive, Trey. My 530 is the same color--you should find a tag somewhere under the hood that says "anthrazit," or something to that effect. Being that the thing is located Bay Area-ish, I would expect to do a clutch pretty soon. Based on the seller's "suggestions," I would also expect a check engine light, at least once you've driven the car 25 miles or so. Whatever, it's an awesome car, and with that low mileage/usage over the years, it should be pretty nice and tight!

I honestly didn't expect to win. I thought the bids would go higher than what I was willing to spend. I was in shock for a bit. I really did go running to burn off some of the nervous energy. The title should be in my hands tomorrow afternoon. I then need to secure transport from SF to ATL. I wish I could fly out and drive it back but that's not feasible. I'll report back once I've actually driven the car. I'm stoked.

Forgot to mention that the coolest part is he's letting me keep the tags. I love them. They're going to look great on the wall of my garage.

Thanks
