I sold it to a DFW friend and car collector I have known for many years. He had researched its history and discovered more about its cushy life than I ever knew. He loves it and is very meticulous with its care. Plus, I'll get to see it again every now and then.

That "120 Only Made in 97" has always been suspect to me....seems there is always one popping up for sale.

So cool to see a list like this going! A few days ago I started looking for a 97 5-speed SC.

I searched craigslist, autoTrader, ebay etc... within my local areas. I slowly started expanding my search further out to surrounding nearby states...wondering what the heck was up with the scarcity of these cars!!!

Well, needless to say I found this forum and the story of the "120 list." Kinda stinks that I may not end up with one of these cars, as I had my hopes way up when I started my search. However, hats off to all those who are enjoying these cars today!
