Question Attn: Florida! My 911 History Help

I purchased this car 9/2003. It lived in Ft. Lauderdale until 2001, prior to that driven very little from 1997-2001 about 5,000 miles. My question of the day does anyone recognize/know anything about this car in FLORIDA? PO had very little history. I have driven 1.800 miles since purchase and it ROCKS! Thanks in advance for anyone with previous history/owner information. See pixs
Thanks. John

I bought my car in Lauderdale and frequent the area. I have never seen that car before. I would call Vertex. They might be able to help.

That car had been for sale on 3 or 4 web sites and in Hemmings for over a year. They were asking a price that was way out ofline with the market so it just sat around. You already bought it and you've posted the pics of it here dozens of times, why the hub bub about its history now?

I seem to recall that you can check the Florida DMV and get a free car history report off their website with the VIN.

HEY TRADER 000

Just had some down time at work, was curious if anyone on the forum knew the PO in Florida, NO hub hub here.
Yes I did buy it, with NO regrets, at a very fair market price, (better than sitting in the market) since the car is perfect with nothing to do but drive for the next 15,000 miles till valve adjust and a few oil changes in between.
Thanks for your reply. John

Jm, it appears to be a nice car. I considered it over a year ago I just did not like the mods and the price was off the charts. The fiberglass in the front was cracked pretty badly when I looked at it, I am glad to see they fixed that for you. If you're talking about the stock market when you said.. "better then sitting in the market" perhaps you did not notice the huge move the stock market had in the past 12 months. I am not a retial broker but I would suggest you look into one, if you're concerned about the market.

Good luck ... enjoy the car.

Oh, casue when you said "sitting in the market" most people would think you were talking about the stock market.
