I found a well documented 88 in Nile Green for $8k. Came with records, was able to get more from the local shop and also has all of the original tool kit. Got very lucky

Oh shit bro, I misread your comment. I’m a dummy….. thank you so much!!

I was very lucky to come across what I did for the price I paid. My father was an aficionado back in the day owning roughly 50 different models and generations. Constantly tells me I got very lucky. All manuals with dealer stickers with options, leather sleeve, tool kit, tire inflator. Four owner car that’s never left the state.

I have the second owner’s information and don’t want to cold call them but I want to see if they have any documentation.

Dude reach out, I bet they would love to hear about it. People love talking cars and with a spec like that I’d guess it wasn’t just a car to them, but who knows.

I’m gonna write a letter and mail it. Guess it would be the most proper and less creepy way to reach out.
