[V8] Estimated Value of '91 5-speed w/4.2?

[Scott DeWitt]

It's hard to say what a car like that is "Worth". Something is worth what 
someone is willing to pay for it. Not to knock the car, but it's a 16 year 
old gas guzzler, and the average person won't know what it is. I'm in the 
same boat I've got 2 five speeds that will likely have the engine/trans 
removed and get crushed because they aren't worth the effort fixing.
