Reason I ask is because THIS one doesn't have the oil fill cap up front, outside of hood area.

What makes you think this is dry sump? Did I miss that in the text? Looks like a fairly standard oiling set-up from the pics - certainly not the set-up with the oil fill cap outside up near the front wheel well.

Ok, after reading the invoice in the Register I may see why it is not selling as well as it looks. It is still a nice looking car, but there seems to be some questions about some things. And if anyone offered it to me I sure wouldn't refuse it.

I agree, but that is some pretty detailed info of owners.

I think you read the message wrong. Ex is saying that it doesn't have the oil cap on the fender and therefore may not be a comp car for that reason. Hence, the question, "how many comp cars were dry sump?"

I know of a red comp car that was dry sumped.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
