Default Houston TX - Need info on a car please!

A friend of mine is considering buying a 96 Cab advertised on eBay.

Jade Green 96 Cab

The car is a very unusual "Jade Green" with Satellite Grey interior and is being sold by Memorial 1 Motorcars, 7955 Katy Freeway, Houston. Supposedly, it is a local car.

Does anyone know of this car and its history? Any experience with Memorial 1 Motorcars? Any reccommendations for a PPI? My friend lives in California so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

MC

Hey. Memorial 1 seems to have had that car forever.

Most of there cars are consignments. I've heard several 'stories/rumors' about their cars being voodoo doo doo. I almost bought a black 96 coupe but car was 'funny'.

I live about four miles from there. I can go look at it, if you like. I'd like to be able to ask for the sales person you've been dealing with, and tell him your real name, though.

That place is about 5 minutes away from me. If you are still interested, I can go take a look.

Danny- Did you just get back in town? If so welcome back. How are the track meister and garage queen doing?

Why don't we all just bust in that place and inquire about the same car at the same time!??

Howard Love will think he hit the jackpot!

Yeah Lets gang up on this guy!!!LOL..Imagine 4 guys who know 993's killing him with questions...He is going to have a heart attack!LOL

Princeton I just got back home Last night I fired up the queen and took it for a spin Ahhhh those RSR's sound so good! I'm in love once again! When I came back I spend a good 20 minutes in the garage looking at her. After being away for 4 months you quickly realize that the day to day nightmares that our jobs bring are all worth it! Can't imagine life without her... The track meister awaits my arrival as soon as my back gets straight again... 5 star hotel bed in Vancouver did a number on my lower back I hope I'll be able to go there on thursday! I received my confirmation for the August 16th DE! I can't wait...although it sucks we are only going to drive the 1.8 track I was hoping to try a new setup on the car and see my lap times...Oh well!

It would be fun to hook up for a lunch or something and then go all together and terrorize the poor guy!

Thanks everyone for the quick responses and offers to assist. If my friend is serious, I'll put him in touch with one of you. The question is which one?

Thanks again,

Matt

WB Danny - when are you headed out to Mike's? I need to go out there to have my new PSC's mounted and pickup a tech inspection.

Danny,

I guess you get the nod by virtue of having the largest stable. I'll send you an e-mail or private message with more info.

Thanks again,

Matt
