'85 ur-q on auction [was: 200q20v Salvage Car for Auction in TX]

[Steve Marinello]

I saw that one.  I live near New Orleans and will give them a call and see
what I can find out.  I don't think I'll ahve time for a Baton Rouge
(actually Livingston) run today, but I'll see what I can do.

Freshwater damage and the hood does not sit right on the drivers side.  V8?
Gotta get some info!

Steve
