[V8] V8 prices: set to rise?

[Andrew Schlueter]

A few of you guys might know the story of how I got into v8's...my old 20v avant...this it. Before the spun rod and before keith started to pull parts off the motor, this the ad was when I traded the 20v for the v8 to him:

I am forced to sell my most prized possession. I am currently stuck in Colorado and cannot afford to ship this car back to Ohio to repair. 2.5bar pressure transducer crapped out. The engine has a spun #4 rod bearing because of this. No ignition advancement under boost. I am the 3rd owner from 215,000 miles. I have invested massive amounts of time and money into this car and I no longer can afford to keep it. I am trying to gain some money back. I am missing the front passenger side door trim. There is a paint chip on the hatch and exposed metal behind the front wheels. Everything is listed below. I will also consider trades for this is my only car.
