Default Picking up my 951 next week!

The deal I got is soooo good, I can't divulge the price! This was a local car that won EVERYTHING: PCA AX's, SCCA Class champ 2 or 3 years straight. The owner bought a new 911 this past summer and sold it to a good friend in Ohio that agreed to give him 1st right on any resale.
Well...the current owner has run into some family problems, and the PO still is dealing with some serious hurricane Ivan repairs (Pensacola, baby!)...so I got to buy the car.
I am not even sure of ALL the upgrades/mods (too dang many to list, actually!), but here is a brief description...

87 944/951
ClubSport Chips
968 suspension
Cat bypass
ARC2 air/fuel controller
APex boost controller - top of the line model
brake ugrade
AFM/MAF conversion
recent main bearing, tb/wp, etc. etc. etc (this car has been immaculately maintained and has had EASILY $20-25k worth of maintenance/upgrades/mods done over the last 5 years)

I fly up to Cincy on the 28th, and will be driving her back to Florida. I am SOOOO stoked about this car!

I dunno man, did you get a PPI by an idependent mechanic? I'd want to spend a while checking it out before embarking on a long drive. Even if the seller does sound honest. Does anyone her know who's car it was?

I know the car VERY WELL (I've watched the ***-end of it TOO many times at DE's in my 928!!)! As I said, it was local, and has only been gone about 6 months. All the work has been done by my wrench. It needs NOTHING! I know both the PO and the current owner.
If I told you how much I am paying - you'd be amazed...it's kind of a 'family' deal!
