PM me if interested
Thinking of a T replacement
Great build, I'm sure lots of people are interested...

Is there a price or one of those "I'll sell it if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse" kind of deals?

Beautiful Mexico Blue with yellow - GLWS.

I looked through STG's old posts above, but can someone tell us who Johnny Mac is (or provide a link as to the story and why he was such a *great* boss), since this has now been resurrected?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Johnny Mac is the original owner of Mexico Blue. He was a general manager/so called partner at the Nissan dealer referenced and was listing the car there for sale. I'm the one who originally found the car listed there and got initial info on it.

Looking into that dealership was very amusing and seeing commercials with Johnny Mac, etc. Pretty much Jersey Shore meets Nissan car sales. I'm surprised Nissan approved such cheesy advertising. All the commercials are on YouTube. Looked up Barberino Nissan.

I'm not sure the exact reason he was fired there. I just noticed it when looking up some info when the car was brought to our attention again a few days ago. Looking at what I had seen in the past, he looked like a train wreck waiting to happen.

Someone bought it and eventually it ended up at Riverside Porsche as a pre-owned car once again where it was purchased by the current owner Rennlister Mrrdstr.

Thanks for filling in the details. That Vinnie Barberino Nissan sounds like it was quite the place...

Maybe not 'Hot for Sale', but BBQ for sale? To be bought 'at a friction of the coast'. As an Agate Gray C4S owner, these photos REALLY hurt.
