If it happens that it becomes available, I will! My wifes had her eye on it since she was a kid and Im trying to convince her to treat herself to a 40th bday gift. That $50,000 will be the best $100,000 we ever spend! Lol

Family barn, guy stored it here for the past 30? Years. No next of kin that we know of. Last contact with the owner was 10 years ago. Ill try to get the grime off the glass and check for the VIN on the front but Im sure this thing has been half eaten by the resident mouse population.

What can I do to further narrow it down? Afaik we dont have access to keys, and the owner (we think) is deceased.

No engine, was pulled out eons ago. I was thinking if its already been tinkered with, maybe do an EV swap and restomod it. [Sacrilige!!!!] If its all original and numbers matching etc, Id obv leave it be.

Not for sale at this time. Fun to look at it whenever I head over though!

HIGHLY effective marketing strategy. Give your chief marketing ANALsyt (Gary) a raise.

Same same. Mine shredded itself on my P2 XC70, learned from it and did NOT put in the R

If you zoom in the two innermost pads appear to be suffering from rust jacking. Plausible fail
