Where is the car now? The car was sold in June 2008 to a buyer in Oklahoma.

On October 30, 2008, the car was destroyed in a fire in Oklahoma.  A fuel injector popped off and sprayed gas on the engine and due to the heat, a small fire started in the engine compartment.  Due to the delay in the fire department arriving on scene, the entire car became engulfed in flames and caused a two acre brush fire.  Twenty engines from local departments showed up on scene to put out the fire.  I am currently waiting for pictures of the burned car and will post them when I get them.
