[V8] Infamous V8 No Start

Thu Jul 12 11:49:03 EDT 2007

Paul, don't be pissed...my situation was different.
 But these cars are worth what people will pay.
 A converted 93 4.2 is worth more than an Auto..or a
true 91 5spd for that matter.
 I'm converting George's 91 3.6 5spd to a 4.2..I would
imagine it would be worth every dollar of $8G..or so.
If George would ever think of selling it.

 Not that I'd ever sell my Black 5spd..specially after
I drop the twin turbo 3.6 motor in it...or the DTM 4.2
motor for that matter..but if IF I was to sell whether
it be mit 3.6tt, or DTM 4.2 I'd still wouldn't go
under $10G!!! & I would want round $15G if/when the
DTM 4.2 motor goes in!!
