sindekhan-thank you...very interesting. If I consider a black older SC I will definitely give you a shout. Absolutely red is my color for the 2002-2005. If I get a 2006+ beggars can't be choosers in my price range and I am open to black, white or silver. Thanks again...your car does sound like a fun project car. With a little work it could be perfect...those issues wouldn't scare me too much.
