Thanks Robert for the thread. Still doesnt explain why he ACTUALLY went ahead and sold it though. Plenty of preorders, plenty offers from folks on this site, ability to get it financed on his own. In charge of the registry, determined to get the book going, but to sell the car......its like being the ramrod of the cattle drive but with no pony to ride. (Sorry I live in cattle country...) Only little crack in the armour I saw was allusion to a new model gt/cs---my garage could hold both ponies. Doc.
