Hey Goodwinr,

I live about 2 - 2.5 hours north of where this car is for sale in the California valley, it's about 1.5 hours from the folks at Opel GT Source. I haven't seen this car in person and didn't know about this car, it's not in our NorCal Opelers group.

The car looks clean from the pics. Ask this guy to send you more pics, higher resolution, close up. I can tell you that many (not all) west coast cars do not have the high amount of rust and corrosion you find in the midwest or east coast, because we don't have the winter snow and road salt.

Sorry I'm not closer otherwise I'd offer to help you out with this one, but 2.5 hours away at $3.59 a gallon is costly.
