Yes sir, this is the Fremont, California car that has 19k and sat in the container for 7+ years then more time spent in Performance Autosports Showroom. I have some shots of when it came out of the container and it was covered in that California red silt.

She is immaculate now, Mark got his hands on it and cleaned it up. Completely original, it even has the resonator in the fender still, stock exhaust, and original date coded plug wires...this thing is a true time capsule!

Thanks for looking.

Glad to hear that. That could be a Barrett Jackson car someday if you leave it in that condition. Marcus knew of that car before Mark got it, sure wish I had been in contact with him, although Mark said he chased that car for many years...I am looking for a coupe...

There are a few out there right now, they have been on and off ebay. This car will remain original. I refuse to modify a thing. I am trying to place an original fiberglass antenna and some OE or NOS floor mats - being a beige interior car the mats are just non-existent anymore. thinking of just going to have them made...

As for Barret Jackson Auctions, you are absolutely right on buddy, but its going to be a few decades before I even begin think about that, if ever.

Yes he did it, many years many phone number and many really bad pics of the car. It was in his shop last time I was down there it looked amazing. I know of a coupe for sale. needs some TLC.

Darkhorse,

Great purchase and welcome to the coupe club, very few are out there so show her and enjoy her. You should be proud you have an amazing car. We will have ours at a local show this weekend first one since I got it back.

Ditto. Welcome to the coupe club!


Greg, what local car show are you taking your coupe to? We are going to be up in Northern Va this weekend visiting family, it would be fun to go to a car show.

Thank you Greg, unbelievably proud. This steed may very well be the lowest mileage coupe of the 21 that are even accounted for - Dont quote me on that just yet. I would like to speak with the gentleman who was building the registry for them before I can say for sure.

I would guess you are right, I worked with Mark on keeping track of your car and I know for fact the mile on the car are actual. As you speaking for Bryan Martin for the registry? If so he is a honest and good guy.

First time I have actually had a name. Is he a member here? other site? Sure would like to pick his brain about the statistics on this car and the others that are accounted for.
