Here's a list made up by the seller (wife of the guy who built it).  
She's NOT a "car guy", and I've corrected what I could, but some of the 
wording may be a bit off.  Prices listed are based on recollection of 
what was spent, and may not reflect reality.  Pictures are available for 
those of you who might really be interested.   See my note at the end.  
This car, BTW, came to CA maybe 5-6 years ago, and I believe it came 
from the mid-Atlantic area, although I kinda recall it may originally 
come from out here.  These cars do that .......

The guy who assisted in this "labor of love" says the engine is 
basically stock, with the original specification turbo. The guy who owns 
it says otherwise. I don't know who to believe, and he's not available 
to ask. Sometimes owners have a tendency to overstate things, but this 
guy isn't usually of that persuasion.
