What say you?


Yes we've discussed the car here before. A use of the search feature will turn up pictures and the earlier discussion.

I first became aware of the car years ago but passed on an opportunity to purchase and believe another forum member owned the car for a while

Boy that is a long reach IMHO The "44" in the VIN has nothing to do with who order the car (have plenty of cars endign in 44 in the data base) its just the next number in the sequence.

As for it being related to the DSO - nope. Your just confusing the numbers.

As far as I know its been carried in the registry from the first publication. Not sure where this comment came from but the car has not been shown around much nor attended any/many of the annual conventions
