The dealer had told me, too, that the trans was changed out and replaced with one from a 96. I didn't hear about the SC though. They were both interesting cars, but I agreed with Nick that he should keep looking - too many problems.
Nick'* 40th SE is as clean as any I've ever seen..............body and interior are flawless!
Good to finally meet you in person, Nick! Aw geez, we should've taken a picture of our first AZ mini-meet
