I really like this color and trying to find out more than just "grey".

Not sure who built it, but it says the color is Chalk/Crayon (M9A) in the description.

There has to be a heck of a back story on how that went from excitement to sold in just a couple months!

I just looked over the BAT pictures and think while this car looks nice at first glance, it seems like someone spent a lot of time to make it look pretty but made some decisions on the job that don't make sense. The engine compartment looks a bit rough, they left off both front and rear valances, and the front has no plugs in the bulkhead holes, so air and water will just be blown into the front trunk with gusto. The muffler is missing most of the bolts that attach it to the heat exchangers and it isn't even attached to the support bracket. These are simple things that are missing which may indicate that someone just tried to wrap things up quickly to sell. Who knows what other short cuts were taken. Thankfully the buyer didn't pay some crazy high BAT price for the car.

Probably got in too deep and had to bail, could be a ton of reasons. Agree with the hasty assembly. Seems to lean as well, setup and ride height not finished. That was a while ago, hopefully all is completed now.
