Not mine. Looks like a driver quality car with a few things to work on. I like the red interior.

Nice.  Wonder what happened to the front end?  Looks like it followed a semi on a gravel road for a day..... :icon_scratch:

Different wheel covers but those could have been changed. Tough to get one to this (apparent) condition for the price.

Take a look at the air cleaner. The one on the Shuman car is higher gloss. The carpet in the Shuman car has carpet edging sown to it just ahead of the console, the other one does not. Some other details lead me to think they are two different cars.  Just my thoughts.

I looked for records of Steve's white car in the documents I got with the red convertible.  It's in the registry information that I have, but no VIN.....
