[QUOTE="jhoward, post: 12174830, member: 141497"] [b]New owner of this car[/b] I AM the buyer of this car from PA and so far I am pleased with the purchase knowing full well how much it costs to build a car of this caliber. I've been working on and building cars for over 18 yrs and although I have not driven the car yet (but he did take me for a 6 mile ride and the car seemed to be fine) or put it on the lift for a complete inspection I can't find anything mechanically wrong. However, it did puff a little blue smoke 2 or 3 times upon starting (and it is oil, I know what it smells like). The car starts beautifully and idles smoothly. The engine install and work completed to the car seems to be top notch from what I can tell so far and have yet to find anything that really bothers me aside from a "floating" heat exchanger. Not trying to pick it apart but I am very particular and that needs fixed. There are a few dents and scratches so I would not consider the body to be "perfect" as described in his thread but it is definitely well taken care of considering the many owners (which I was not aware of even though I did ask).
