What's the color, garnet red??

Wow. Sorry everyone -- I am still getting used to vB forums after using KawF, which tracks activity on your posts (I'm sure this option is somewhere on here as well and will look for it)

Damian, the color is Maraschino Red (L Y3 V)

Again, thank you for the warm welcome and an UPDATE on what my buddy and I found:

- The oil leak ended up being the Cam Tower housing gasket which I got replaced and then it revealed other smaller leaks...

- After a THOROUGH cleaning of the entire engine, I discovered that the leak happened to be red -- Ahaa! ATF aka Power Steering fluid. Ordered the rebuild kit for the pump.. and will fix that this weekend.

- The steering rack is also on its last legs so I am sourcing one soon and will replace this.

-Motor mounts are shot. This should alleviate the vibrating cabin, especially under low revs.

-Hot start issue-- which is easily fixed by wiggling some wires behind the IM, but will look into it more later.

OVERALL -- Happy with the purchase (knocks on wood) as the paint and interior are in excellent shape. Once these mechanical repairs are addressed, it'll be real nice!

More Pics: I love this thing!
