SPO number
Chassis number is 1782. The guy I bought it from treated it as a show car. He bought it in 2004 and only put 1860 miles on it in 11 years. As it turned out, a friend of mine who owns a body shop only lived 30 miles from the car (in SC). He agreed to go look at the car for me as a condition of sale.
Being a body and paint guy, I figured he would give it a critical eye and let me know what he thought. He couldn't contain himself when he told me the car was literally perfect. He said he had never seen a car look so good.
I assume those are the original tires. Do yourself a BIG favor and replace them with new tires and something other than the BFG T/As. Your life will thank you later.

That's a great story! Take your time and get comfortable with it as these cars can bite your ass in a hurry. I would also make sure you have the upgraded RT rear shock mounts. Get them from Cobra Valley.
Enjoy. Looks like a nice car. Be mindful of loose grit on the road and cold tires/road surfaces during those early spring rides. Slow acceleration and do not floor it until you get a good feel for the car. They tend to take off rather quickly and the rear-end can come around on you in a hurry.
