I did some detective work via google...got his # and we've been talking/texting all day. he was a navy pilot and ordered it new when he got out of OCS in Cali. ALL original body panels and drivetrain...car's had over 200k miles, was his daily. he rebuilt the engine 3x...last rebuild has about 20k miles since 94.
came with some great documentation including some restoration polaroids from '94 he sold it in 06 and I got it from 2nd owner.

Great story!  I love the history of these cars, and documentation too!  Congrats on finding him.
