haven't introduced myself yet, sorry. I'm Frank from Germany and owning that particular car on that picture above.

It's obviously not the one from Chicago, it came in from Houston and was originally sold in Chattanooga.

I have full history on that vehicle and I can rule out it's the one they are searching for.

I think I remember the one you are talking about.  I have some pictures of it saved.  IIRC, it had that odd chrome rocker trim which I have never seen on a GTS before.  It looked like a near perfect car though.

 

Welcome!  Feel free to introduce yourself in the Welcome Mat section.  We'd all love to hear the story about your car.

 

Yup, that was the one I was thinking of.  Note the chrome rocker panel trim.  I have never seen that before, and despite this guys claim, I don't think it's original to the car.  I actually saved the listing on this car, here's what it said;
