Alvin doesnt own it anymore, another member here owns it...
Thanks - I had seen the name 'jabberjaw' on another thread referencing some of the top E9 restorations. I was looking for info on Paul Cain's car at the time.
Owned by Chuck Rich, ccr2002. And yes red was available.

Yes, the leather color was called "veloursred". Believe it was fitted to mostly Chamoix white coupes and to a much lower extent, silver coupes. Must say I love the silver and red combo.
so it returns again
When it doesn't sell, why not raise the price to $13,500?

This could be the guy that restores 2002's in Dallas, buyer beware!
It is. If you plug the phone number listed on CL, you will confirm.
that's probably the guy that also sells petri wheels - bgo_ego ... or as we like to say 'big ego'
Different guys
Markos is correct! I have been to this shop. Any questions about this vendor please PM me.
Cheers!
Cheers!
that's probably a positive thing ... as bgo_ego is a major PITA
Both are!
Now $30K and a bit closer to complete...

Just an observation: It seems the restorer/seller is continuing work on the car - and offering it at steadily increasing prices as they get more of it complete. Makes sense. But it is funny to think that this methodology essentially is asking the buyer to pay the seller to stop working on the car. Rather, the buyer is credited by having them stop work. This is an interesting way to set up a resto/sale - kind of like it.

Another odd thing: the last three photos in the CL ad seem to be of a different car, with California plates. What's with that?

The last three are the “look what it could be someday” photos, using Jabberjaw.

I am sort of OK with “look what it could be someday” photos, but you should at least admit that is what you are displaying.
I'm always reminded of the Shakespeare quote, "all that glisters is not gold..."
