Anyone know someone local who has a 77 Martini 924?

I want to know about interior replacement availability. I'm contemplating buying one of these models and want to explore the interior restoration "degree of difficulty."
Thanks,
TC

Nope, but search CraigsList San Diego for a '79 924 Sebring Edition...should have the same red carpet and funky checkered seats. A red one has been for sale for some time, though about it myself for a while.
You like that book?

The book has been helpful. There's a Martini edition car pictured in there several times and you can just make out the license plate frames.......Chicago Region PCA (Illinois plates). There's a section of the book that gives a little more info on each cars owner. It said the owner was Maureen Hutton. I got onto the Chicago Region's PCA website and didn't have any luck getting someone from membership or their database to answer the phone. Then, I found a name on their website that I recognized, Susan Shire (PCA Club Racing). Called her up, bang, she knew the owner of the car! I called and we had a nice chat. Her car is original with only 35K miles! How's that for a reference for correct restoration?
Kind of like Ernie Paschoal's local 356.
