yep, his parents sold their house here and moved there to retire and bought a huge house with a separate guest house on a fair amount of land. dan said raising his family there would be much more ecomonically feasible then doing it here. he didn't make much. supposedly he left in july or august. i believe the mileage to be accurate but that horsepower thing is a bunch of crap. dan never ever mentioned to me anything about having ever dynoed that car and even if he had i guarantee you it would get no where near 220 fwhp. i saw his car around april or may when he was entering it in that car show at knotts. very very very clean. iirc he wanted something like $9000 for it. never gonna get that. as far as the engine is concerned, it sounded good though i never drove it.
edit- i like dan and all but after reading the description i noticed something. chuck, read the description begining where it says "This Contour is a very strong pulling vehicle" up to where it says "Always been garaged." compare to how dan speaks and tell me it does not sound like him. i'm not saying it is but it sounds close.
