Going to view a car Monday.

Well I've done the show 'n' shine thing with the Chargers and that was great but everyone else seemed to be having more fun than I was.
While I was sitting in my camping seat for hours on end next to my car and having sleepless nights about whether or not I'd got the correct date coded exhaust clamps or not - the rest of the lads were simply having more fun than I was! I like fun! Well that was decision made! Sell Charger - get into drag racing!
Bought the Belvedere more or less as a stocker. Blue did his thing on it and the rest you know. Unfortunately I had to sell it in order to put the funds into my business.
So I've done the show 'n' thing and loved every single moment I had with the Belvedere racing it, but that's gone too. But I miss it very much. Why? Because believe it or not, more than anything else, it was the patina it had. I loved it's individuality, it's uniqueness. There's something about original (not faked) patina that appeals to me more than anything else!
Just realised I'm rambling here and not getting to the real point of my thread.
Ok, given all of the above I now want something completely different. I'd like a sun-bleached Chrysler 300 Hurst please. But seeing as they only made a few hundred anyway I just don't think that's going to happen and even if one did come up it's going to be in the States and therefore beyond my budget.
And then a couple of days ago I accidentally came across a car on Ebay that absolutely ticked every single single box for me.
It's not a Mopar and if you don't like the sun-bleached look you're gonna like it even less.
One US owner. Fresh import with only 54k on the clock. What's not to like?
And because I'm using a Mac with a mouse that only half works I can't put up a linky.
Can you guess what it is yet? Item no. 230980861078
