Bill,
Sorry, this is not collecting dust but rather collecting road dirt. No roll bar so I can't sell it to you.  Of course, I am not selling it anyhow, so all moot. Just gotta mess with you.
Shoulda kept that 289 I delivered.....

In regards to yours shown, no rollbar, wrong color, soiled drivers seat, and I'd hate to be pulled over by a K9 unit 
As for 0034, I tried, but it found it's original dealer buying it back for resale (marked it up 30K because of the SB100 paperwork) before I could find a buyer for my FIA.....One had to go, both had their chance to stay, fate decided at the time.

Sir, I take umbrage at that remark! The driver's seat is a natural leather variation! And pray tell, what is YOUR definition of "dark blue", I may be color blind, but invite the people here to weigh in.
The car has been cleared by our grand dog, Teddy, he thought it smelled just fine, probably due to the Milk Bones stored behind the seats.

It seems to me that this is the correct color, it's just that the lighting here isn't very flattering, and I also think the color appears duller because the car is a bit dusty. |

Currently it is really dirty from a return drive from Watkins Glen in the rain. Ankle surgery put me out of driving condition after that, so it was put up for the winter in "as driven" shape. Eventually it will get cleaned.

If it had fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror, I think it would be more enticing.

All kidding aside, sorry to hear about the ankle surgery, here is hoping for a speedy recovery. In regards to the dust and dirt, leave it, along with stone chips, some of us view that as a badge of honor.

Bill,
You should have been there to see Rick driving with the top down through a torrential rain storm and lightning storm on the way back from the track to the place we were staying. He was still trying to dry the car out three days later

Been there, done that, far too many times. Both on and off the track...
