http://ww2.collectorcartraderonline.com/ is one place.
And the usual MBCA (Mbz Club of America) adverts in the magazine also.

They are NOT cheap for ones in good condition. North of $45k at least....

Thanks. Damn, they are getting pricey. 10 years ago it seemed 25K would get you a nice one, and 40K would get you a barret jackson-quality sample.

Time to regain thread control.

I put about 120 more miles on the car today.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I'll let these do my talking.

High 60's and clear skies.

A totally glorious day. I didn't put the top up till it was near sunset.
(I used the heater though...)

Nice!! I'm hoping to get out and drop the top this weekend - supposed to go into the 60's.

I've got to put the summer tires/wheels on too. I love spring!!!

That's awesome. Pictures like that quickly make me realize that unless it's a track car or a daily driver in the north, sportscars should have no roofs at all.

Hear hear.

Nice stretch of road, Lip. What route were you traveling on.

BTW, taking the Jeep out this Sunday for some wheel'n at Walker Valley ORV Park near Mt. Vernon and I have a spare front seat if you're interested. We'd be out all day and meeting at the Shell station at Exit 221 (I believe) on I-5 around 10am.

Let me know if you're interested.

These pics were from the Old Skagit Highway on the south side of the Skagit River (heading East). The road goes from Sedro Wooley to near Concrete.

It is a total blast.

My favorite 2002 pic was taken there as well....

Sorry - This weekend won't work (getting ready for a family vacation and still need to do some work on the house from the aftermath of the November snow.... yes.... still.....)
