I am not an expert on these cars, but it looked correct to me.

It has the correct mirrors, so if it's a fake someone put some effort into it. But I'd bet it's real.

Based upon the wheels, this is a later model car with a 6 speed then?

Yeah, it should be a 94 or 95, with the 3.8 and the 6 speed. One of 209 built, according to this:

Wow, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, the buyer's ZIP code on BAT is my neighborhood. I hope that I get to see this one frequently.

Reminds me of a crazy thing...

When we sold the 1969 Corvette in the mid 90s, we sold it through a dealer on consignment. A couple weeks after selling it, I came home and saw the car parked on the street in front of my building and then never saw it again.

I see this guy around from time to time, but it's pretty unusual to use a Blackwood as a landscaping truck. The lid keeps the equipment secure and the carpet keeps it cosseted.
