Probably sold to a buyer that wants to remain anonymous. Oh well.

This thread was a heart stopper for a few moments the first time I saw it. The VIN derivative digits were VERY close to mine and I had to look hard for a bit to see that this was not my block. Change the "L" to "N" and I would have been all over that one. Close but not close enough.  :'(
