    I think you need to have 10 responses or posts before you can post pictures.

    Went on FB but only saw one picture, and it looks pretty good.

    It's hard to tell, maybe. Which dealer was it purchased from?

    If you have the pictures already on FB, you can just copy/paste them into your thread--at least that's what I have found.

    Nice looking car. it sounds like a pretty serious machine!
