[V8] 5spd V8 in marketplace, a few Q's

[32VQUATTRO]

Scott, I have to say I'm quite surprised your backing this car. I know a 
little about the pair of cars it took to make this car, as well as seen it 
in person at Carlisle this past spring. I've a also met the owner, who by 
his own admission , is a misuse, not a mechanic. Let me just say this. Mark 
W. just sold his 91 5-spd 4.2 swapped,camed,recent head job with timing 
belt, new clutch, coiloverd suspension, s4 sport interior ect ect, for 
around the same money. Unfortunately, this is the economic climate we live 
in to day. Seeing this v8 first hand, and knowing what the arguably best 
sorted V8 5spd in the country just sold for , I have to say its not worth 
his asking price. It should at the very least, have a documented timing 
belt. Just my $.02
