Based on the above post, I hooked up with a suitable seller who made me a suitable offer. After wringing my hands for several days I have just declined. So the car is officially off the market. My wife thinks it would diminish me if I sold it and, among our assets this may be the one with the best appreciate rate. In any case, I've apologized to the potential buy for jerking him around and expressed my appreciation for his time and patience. I will certainly notify him first, if and when I make a definite decision to sell.

Now that i've moved this idea out of my head, I do find a renewed interest in fiddling with the car and making some of the minor improvements it requires...maybe, if I can find a proper upgrade for the D-jet, I'll even invest a bit in getting the car the ability to take advantage of the blueprinted rebuild done by the previous owner.
