Very nice of Patrick (with some steering from Joanne) to get you this information! Great community isn't it?

Love the colour combination. Heard about it but this is the first time I've seen it. Hope it all works out well.

Yep... there was a decent stack of records, but being on my lunch break, I didn't have time to sort through them. I did ask if there was anything in the stack regarding the paint and he said there was not. Frankly, I would be surprised if they had actually looked through them in detail.


Ed,
On the wheels... both rear wheels were in about the same condition. The fronts, while better, were still worn/dull, just not to the point where I would say they NEEDED to be refinished.

I didn't see any signs of a major hit or damage in the area that was repainted. The repaint alone wouldn't concern me too much since it appears to be isolated to that one spot best I can tell (a paint thickness meter would be more telling). I'm perplexed by the apparent painting over the rock guards. That just seems hokey to me.

By the way, he indicated they got this car from Colorado some time ago. By chance, would anyone on here happen to possibly know it with that piece of info?

A nice community is putting it mildly... nothing quite like it...

Dylan... I called on Saturday and plan to head out there at lunch today to drive her. The salesman I talked to said Mr. Evans likes to go with anyone test driving that one, so I will call them again this AM to make sure we're still on.

I'd love to see his color combo when cleaned up. I never knew it existed. I think it would look great.

Agreed. When I was shopping for my C2S I found a couple Aventurine green 993s with tan or black interior. AG with Chestnut is a beauty.

Before I got scared off of F355s I did find a beautiful 355 Belinetta with a dark almost oxblood interior.

Yes, pics pics pics. Big, but jaded, fan of Marble Grey interiors in AG cars. Would love to see more of this one.
