Hi Chris, great am glad the car is in good hands. I can vouch for the condition of the Fawn 98 coupe that's shown in the link you sent. That car used to belong to my friend Mel; in fact I drove the car at that time (in the scorching summer heat with the factory AC working!). It's a solid car that's worth buying. Had some weak points such as the die cast chrome which was kinda pitted up, and the interior side panels were not so great. The paint is good, but it's a base clear job that doesn't look too authentic. So I would consider it a nice driver that could be show worthy with some tweaking.

Regarding a car for your brother, I do have another 61 98 that I would consider selling. I've only had this one for a little over a year, so I have not gone over it completely yet, but it's a really nice car to start with. Is a 98 Holiday Sedan (six window 4dr hardtop) with 31,500 original miles. I drove it from NY to Ft Lauderdale in November and it did great - it sits down there in a clean cool garage for the winter. It's a very rare color combo that is factory special order (is on the vin tag but according to the original documentation had to be special ordered) of white with twilight mist roof and stripe, and white trim on the deluxe hubcaps. Twilight Mist is a metallic silver/blue/purple color which is really cool.

Let me know if he has interest and I'll email you with more details and photos.

All best,
Alan
