That sucks. I remember this car--if I remember right it was on eBay back then and I think I even bid on it. I have actually thought about this car a few times since wishing I had bought it. I actually contacted the guy that won after the fact to see if he would sell it to me. He said he had big plans of painting it black and making it into a GN clone. I actually wanted it because I DON'T like black and wanted something different and really liked the look and style. Everything he wanted to do to it was exactly what I didn't want and it never worked out to buy it from him.
Too bad--I really liked this car and it sounds like another one bites the dust.
