Well I've added another V8 to my fleet. This one's an automatic. So
I get to dig through the archives for all that related info that I've
seen over the years and gleefully ignored. ;-)
1990 V8q Cayenne/Black 126k miles
Originally from AZ and has been in CO for several years. Bought from
another lister (Hi Scott) who recently acquired Dino Murphy's 5spd and
needed to pare down from three V8's to two.
It's had some money lavished on it, probably due to the extended
warranty that went up to 75k, although some of the large receipts are
after that.
Currently has a tired blower motor (which has been resurrected at
least for the time being), dead central lock system, trashed passenger
side headlight, some paint issues and a little bit of a Pentosin leak
somewhere, though it seems to be sporadic. It's had a lot of
hydraulic system attention so I'm a little surprised since my 5spd is
all original and still dry (knock wood).
This will do far better in the winter for the GF than her Firebird (for sale).
So 7 cars soon to be 4 hopefully. That'll leave me with 2 V8's and 2
Coupes (a CGT and a urq).
