It's time to bump this thread 4.5 years later. The car was subsequently sold by Ryan to Buddy, who sold it earlier in 2015 to a "museum" in Florida that tried to flip the car for serious coin. Eventually, the seller listed it on eBay without a reserve, and the car was sold for a fair price.
The car will be headed up the East Coast to its new home - my place! I will update this thread as the improvements are made to the car.
