[V8] RE: 5spd valuation

[Coleman, David]

I for one think that's a swell idea Jeremy!   There are actually a
couple folks out there who've offered either a 4.2 swap car or a nice
black 5-speed to just replace what I have, which could be easier, and
which I am thinking lang and hard about (just saw my typo but due to the
german translation will leave it).  

If a suitable 200 20v avant doesn't work out, I'm back to that...  So
many options, so little insurance money.

Anything to keep me from a possible defection to an urq or 951.
