You bet Rick!
Also, just got the last of the receipts for the car. Work was done at Renn Werks in Silicon Valley over the past 5 years. Close to $20K in work. I have a thick file of receipts, going back to new. It was a 2 owner car, where the original owner sold it to his lady friend. They were both well heeled and spared no expense. The car has had just about everything major done to it, including timing belt, water pump, cam seals, cam cover gaskets, oil pump seals, torque tube rebuild, A/C rebuild, all belts and hoses, top end refresh, engine steam clean, new stereo, new switches, sunroof repair, alt rebuild, auto tranny flush service, brake flush, rad flush, etc etc.
The only thing not found in the stack are rebuilt fuel lines, so Roger has that coming to me. I have never bought a shark that had so much done to it before I got it. Should save me a bundle to keep it on the road. Probably needs suspension attention, but that's about it.

That's so awesome Ed. Look forward to seeing it! On the other end of the spectrum mine came with a sticker that proved the oil was last changed in 2003 and a couple of opera mix tapes. Jealous?
; please take lots of pictures too!

Delivered! Runs great - took it for a spirited drive, on a twisty road. No disappointments. It will be a fine driver. Also, Kudos to Intercity - they did a great job. Car was carefully covered.

Ed - congrats on your beautiful addition! Glad it made the cross country trip unscathed.
I'll miss Ann at Ladies Day.
Your family is expanding in several ways! Have fun and see you at the track or a future car event!
It was great seeing you at the Art Tour downtown last week!
