5000cs door handle/latch

[John Cody Forbes]

5000 outside door handles break often. Every time I scrap a 5000 I typically don't care to grab the engine or transmission, but the door handles are the first thing that goes into my stash ;-).

Where do you think the nickname Team Doorhandle came from?
