My sister (Dustin's mom) allowed me to drive it back to Chattanooga, TN where I live where she told me to "sell it" or "do whatever I waned to with it". I haven't put a for sale sign on it because the car is very sentimental to me. Dusty loved the 3Ss because I did. We test drove this one togther and he ended up buying it. The thought of selling it makes me nauseous.<br />So I am in the process of restoring it. I have already restored the headlights. Brake system upgrade is next.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">This car is in memory and dedicated to my nephew Cpl Dustin J.
