[V8] FS- 1991 V8

[J123fs at aol.com]

Hi folks,
This is another longtime lister who may be bidding a V8 adieu  (unless I 
find a perfect 5 spd in my budget of 5K). I will stay on the list for  sure.
My 1991 will be up for sale in the Marketplace section shortly.
I thought I would let the list know, as the car is a perfect jumping off  
point for someone. Has approx 160K on it. 2nd V8 I have owned and has been in 
 the family for 7 years now. Bought from another lister. Has EVERY service 
recipt  since new in a folder 5 inches thick.
Within the last 2K miles I have replaced: Timing belt, PS pump, AC  
compressor, Brake Master,  Rotors and pads on the rear (car has an Audi  Connection 
big brake kit w/ extra set of rotors and Hawk pads), chipped ECU,  front 
axles have been replaced and repacked w/ new boots....plus many more new  
things. I had the auto trans rebuilt to the tune of 4500 dollars a couple years  
ago. Body is in very good shape and sports a rare Zender deck spoiler 
painted to  match ( Lago Blue), Momo Monte Carlo wood matching steering wheel. 
The car has a  set of 18" Fittipaldi wheels. Nice rig, needs a little 
cleaning, touch up and a  stereo (taking mine out, but I will leave all wiring and 
routed patch cables in  place)
The bad is : motor blew a head gasket last week and it's likely time for me 
 to move on to something newer. If the car was a standard I would indeed 
just  swap a motor (Force Five has them for $650 3.6-$1100 4.2), but I'm done 
with  slushboxes. 
I guess I'm looking for a feeling of what I should sell the car for, and of 
 course letting the group most likley to want to purchase it know it is for 
 sale before I send it off to Chris at FF to get parted, or sold to someone 
 locally.
Let me know your thoughts off list, and I'm happy to send some pics to  
those who might be interested.
TIA!
-Jack
