Who has my car now? 93 IBM ls1/t56 swapped car.

Yes I know this is a odd post but I'm just curious to see who owns my pride and joy now.
I built it back on 2005 and sold it to Dave Dingman in Utah in 02/07 and I think he has sold it since. Just trying to track it down and see if it is still was amazing as it was when I had it. Here are some pics.











oh and here is one more

Very nice. I know the feeling exactly, I sold my CYM in 2005 and just bought it back a couple weeks ago. Lucky for me the interim (lol) owner only drove it 6-7k miles and tool good care of it.

Never dynoed the car after the intake, and the butt dyno would be fair cause I did the fast 90/90 and a set a stage 3 ported ls6 heads at the same time. So the car picked up a good bit of power at one time.
