I will have to check it out again but it definitely felt like vinyl and the ad says leatherette. The color was just weird, too red.

Pretty sure the interior is leather. I've seen the car at Hershey. It was nice at the time. One could search the site as I think the previous owner posted the progress as he did it.

Per my conversations with the previous owner it was originally a Black/Black car with partial leather. The Red interior (Vinyl & Carpet) was done in Lansing, Michigan by a company called Luna's Custom interiors at a reported cost of about $3500. It was for sale for a long time at a advertised price of $17,900 that was reduced to $15,000 before selling about a year ago.
It could be a good value if the engine is tight and doesn't have leaking valves, it wont make the kind of power you're expecting if it does. If memory serves me correctly the D1R SC install instructions state there is no specific gaurantee on power output based on a numebr of factors (engine condition being a large one). A test drive or <acronym title='pre purchase inspection'>PPI</acronym> would go a long way. For me paint quality and cleanliness in general go a long way toward telling how somethings been taken care of. I like a clean engine bay when I'm looking at cars.

I would love that interior with an Artic Silver exterior...an ass for every seat as they say.
