Went and looked at it this morning and mechanically it was okay, pulled hard and felt good, but it needed a new top, paint was trashed and he never titled it in his own name. I figured I'd have to put at least 2-3k into it just to be happy which is already where I am at with my 01. As much fun as it was I just couldn't justify the cost, so I passed.
For shits and giggles on the way home we test drove a NC Club Sport PRHT... I think after our new house closes I may start the hunt for a NC with the soft top....
