Guys, I don't visit this site too often, but to give you an update, I did not buy the car because the owner could not produce all books and records after I put a deposit down on the car and signed a purchase contract. It was a nice car, and it passed PPI, but I'm fussy about documentation and provenance.

Three months ago I put a deposit down on a red/tan car. However, it did not pass PPI.

I'm still looking, if it's priced right. These are great cars, but some owners are asking the moon. One is on eBay now priced about $50K less than where it started a year ago. IMHO, if you're patient you will be able to buy a nice one at below $170K.
