I have like 8 years at least worth of receipts on the vehicle, which certainly is being added to. Receipts date back to 2001 of November. It's name is Sayuri. She came with 11 different user manuals and installation/user guides for all the AEM and turbo electronics installed on the vehicle. She also came with the user manual. I have confirmed a final name for this "Black Dragon" and Sayuri looks to be it!
I have since owning it, installed a black with blue stitching shift boot, and skull pedals. I have a new shift knob put on, and an open ended steering wheel. Door insert covers and floor mats. New black gauge faces are going to be installed once I can get ahold of some that I like. I do not have pictures to all of these that are installed yet.
So I had taken an hour train ride, and 2 buses, across 4 different states and 16 hours of traveling to get to it. Just to look at it. The second bus I was to take to it broke down kinda, they couldn't get the inside lights to turn off so we had to swap to a new bus, delaying the traveling time to 16 hours total. This happened at 2:40AM and what fun it was to live overnight on a Baron's Bus (decently comfortable) and a greyhound bus for the first time,
