While true, I don't know that that is really what matters. What matters is that he's worked on bringing back a lot of rough cars and making them nice again, then selling them to the community. He also acts as matchmaker for a number of members and non-members, finding cars and bringing them to buyers instead of letting them rot away in a garage hidden. He is known here and elsewhere as a straight shooter. Sometimes he's selling rough barn finds and other times he's selling something that's seen a lot of time and money put into it. But regardless of what it is, he tells it like it is and you don't have to enter the conversation with trepidation that you are dealing with a snake.
As for this car? Looks like a nice car to me. I saw the ad on Samba last week. There was a time when many targas were converted to coupes for racecars, often with a carbon fiber roof. When you look at a hot rod like this, I don't think the targa vin has any meaning. It is a hot rod. A hot rod will never be worth what its vin equivalent would be worth in stock form. Some hot rods are worth way more than a stock car. Others aren't worth much at all. But the actual vin or origins as a targa? Meaningless on this car.
