[V8] 4.2 5spd for sale

[William Gutierrez]

For anyone interested, when I was at Steve Nechodom's place in Berkeley 
today, he told me that a customer who has a 1991 4.2 5spd is looking to sell 
his car.  For those who don't know, Steve runs a VW/Audi repair shop in 
Berkeley and is quite knowledgeable about V8s.  He has a 4.2 5spd of his own 
with a full port and polish job.

In any event, the car is pearlescent, with tinted windows, 17" 6-spoke 
Borbet rims, fairly new Yokohama dbs tires, non-sport seats and I'm told it 
has fairly low mileage (70-80k).  The body and paint looks pretty good, 
though there was some minor damage to the chrome plastic trim and metal 
panel above the bumper near the headlight on the driver's side.  According 
to Steve, the car was last registered in Nevada in year 2000.  The owner 
brought it to Steve to sort a hot start problem that was eventually traced 
back to the Intended Acceleration chip the prior owner had installed.  Steve 
claims the problem was solved using the stock chip, but the owner never came 
to collect the car, as he apparently has at least one other he drives.

I don't know the price, but it sounded like the owner had some unrealistic 
viewpoints on V8 values.  Given the rarity of the car, though, I guess it's 
tough to set a value on it.

Anyone interested, call Steve at Karmakanix (510) 558-0111.

I have no affiliation, yada yada yada... .  Just thought this is a pretty 
rare and desireable car that someone on this list may have an interest in 
before it is marketed generally.

Thanks.
