Grrr - the owner is out of town so I wait patiently (not)

 

Finally made the purchase and very happy with the end result. It turns out to be a 1998 (not 97) but not sure that makes a huge difference. Included with the car is a package of all the receipts this lady acquired over the last ten years - it comes to well over ten thousand dollars and includes al the major “watch out for” items. Yayyyy

 

Under my garage LED lighting

Natural lighting makes it look like a completely different color

 

Oh and it's RED!! (RED is my Second favorite right after BLACK)
Well Done!!
