It's a done deal! Thanks to Doug Levin!
Well, the deal is done.
Doug Levin which I have known for many years really helped me out today. He inspected my 512 TR I bought. It's a 1992 Red 512 TR with about 17K miles on it with recent all major service done on it. Even came with a tubi exhaust system and the OEM exhaust system.
I got a picture of Doug's wife also! Very nice lady if you ever get a chance to talk to her.
Anyways, I am pretty excited about it and thought I would share. Tim Standford did the PPI and gave it a good review. Martin at Cavallino motors also assisted in this deal It looks like Martin has a good reputation also. He has sold cars to people I know from other car forums!
For those who don't know Doug, he is a comedian on the side. Not sure if you can tell by these pictures. Hardy har har! I ask him to snap some pictures for me since I have not seen the car yet and I get these back.
Here's a few more....
Now I am awaiting transport to my house.

That is Dougs wife and she is a sweetheart. Doug did the work on my Viper and 25,000 miles later it still runs like a scalded beast.
Congrats on the car, it is gorgeous.

My Bud has one exactly like that, right down to the Tubi Exhaust. He also received the stock exhaust when he purchased his.
Beautiful Car - Congrats!! You are going to L-O-V-E the sound that engine makes when you run it up to redline!!!
Again, at 6'4", I'm just too tall for it IMO, but I can handle short rides in it!
Maybe not the fastest car around, but certainly not one of the slowest either. Definitely one of the best looking though!! Good Luck w/ it!

Thanks all! I am excited to get it. I think Doug ust needs to pry his wife's hands off it and then it should be ready to go. I can't wait to see what it looks like with the Diablo!

He last posted on August 9th. I saw his post and couldn't believe my eyes. So he must still check out the site once in awhile.

Looks like 355 wheels and I love the polished Tubi canister. Tell me it does not have nitrous!
Car looks great, Adam!

You can thank Doug Levin for the nitrous. It better not be hooked up when I get it!
