Well... she's all mine again!!! I talked with Mr Flowers for about 45 minutes on the phone this morning and after hearing my story of this car, he said I needed this car, then asked if I wanted the car? Of course I said yes I would Love to have the car back and asked what would it take to get the car? I never asked what was paid or what the car sold for. He told me that he paid $2500 for the car and that was all he wanted out of it. So, I got the car for $2500 bucks and it comes with a couple of extra fenders and a passenger side door. I am making arrangements to pick the car up in a few weeks. Mr Flowers and Mr Todd are super cool people and they both just really wanted me to have my car back after all these years!!! Mr Flowers sent me these pics while I was on the phone with him. So awesome!!!

Congrats!
That is super cool. Hope all goes well with the pickup trip. A neighbor of mine has a green one which he's been doing stuff to for a while now.

Restores a little faith in mankind. But car guys usually do. Well done, Hobie.

Thanks guys!!! I swear I was about to burst with excitement when I got off the phone!!!
My plan for the car you ask? To restore it back to a nice driver condition at the very least and enjoy the car again. I will put a Monza exhaust system back on the car and I would love love love some triple Webbers, but that will come in due time. The Monza exhaust I installed on the car back in the day made it sound awesome. I'll be researching things of course, there may be better equipment out there now than what was available in 1984.  I am amazed that I only saw the messages from Mr Todd last Thursday, the messages were from September. I was able to get in touch with him fairly quickly and with his help was able to connect with Mr Flowers and secure the car. It only took 5 days. Crazy stuff!!! Car guys are awesome!!! I wish I knew which pelican who sent Mr Todd the link to this thread. Huge thanks to them for doing so as they played a crucial part in my being reunited with my old Redcoat!!!

Great news. If you can get over there sooner if might be better. Things happen. Once in your driveway you know you did it. I'd send the money along with sales agreement. Make an excuse that you need paperwork for registration. I've done this.
