Kind of slim pickings out West right now as far as I can tell. There's a few '99-'02 Firehawk coupes for sale in the low $30s. The manual LT Firehawks I've been able to find out here are rough around the edges even if the milage is on the lower side. There was a Comp T/A on the central coast up for sale a few months ago for $19k in fantastic condition. I let it slide because it was an auto. Kind of regretting that now. My wishlist of 6 speed, t-tops and leather tied to a well kept example at a sensible price is harder than I thought to find so maybe it's time to loosen my requirements.

I started looking across the country but not sure how I feel about dealing with transports and a remote purchase.
I just shipped a new Raptor from Florida to San Diego ($3,200) with no issues, also shipped 4 other cars this year from various N.E. locations to Florida, again no issues. You can negotiate rates...
If you're interested, I still have Comp T/A #006 still for sale with 16k miles.
