Jim- We've been friends with Scott for 10 years or more. He has been our GTO club president, and is one now. I only recently heard that he needed the back operation from another friend who has her Firebird in his shop. I never drove your car, but Scott drove it a fair amount as advertising for the shop. He is fairly meticulous/picky, so I'm sure the car will be all that is advertised. I know he had it advertised on ebay for $40k, and I think he had about that much into it or more once you counted shop time.
