I should probably dig up the VIN and post it so no one accidently buys this
car when it comes up for sale.  The guy I sold it to runs a body shop and I
know he bought it to rebuild and sell, figuring he could use some of the 84
and 85 5000 parts he's got lying around to cobble it together and make some
easy money given the premium a 20V 200tqw brings.  Caveat emptor.
