Does he want to sell it? Is he in the US?

He's in CT. I will ask for you, although I'm not sure he's looking to part with it. I'll find out the exact year as well.

So if I wait two years will my 93 Sentra SE-R qualify?

Very nice! Though the coupe was an afterthought, I really prefer the looks of that to the OTS; I think I'd even take a 2+2 over the convertible. Aside from that requirement, I'll just need mine to NOT be Old English White or Primrose Yellow.

I'm ashamed to say I fell for that one when I had my Rolls-Royce. Some kids in the next car at a light honked and rolled down their window, and completely forgetting the "Wayne's World" scene and the old commercial, I rolled mine down to see what they wanted.

That Yenko/COPO is the holy grail for GM lovers - probably worth over $300,000. Sweet What color?

I really like the Islero, actually. Something about those front fenders. If you've ever seen the Beatles rooftop video for 'Don't Let Me Down' there's a red Islero parked on the street that you see a few times, and a series 1 E-type as well.

LM002 is my dream car.

I have a '63 Vespa 150GL in my garage waiting to be restore.

Of the five classic cars I have, I'll likely hang on to the '68 300SEL 6.3.

With the pneumatic suspension? My dad had one (a '72, I think) for a while and loved it. That's quite a rare bird!

Can you speak more about this?
When did it start? 07, 08, 09, 10, 11?
Any particular segments hit harder or less than others? etc
