Re: Price for 91 V8

["Anthony K.B. Chan" <chan@seattleu.edu>]

Actually according to previous postings from one of the listers there were 
57 91' V8 5spds imported during that year. It surely is a nice car, 90' 
and the 91' 5spd V8s were the only V8s with the sport seats. Did this 
particular V8 has the front brake conversion done? The internal calipers 
brakes aka 'UFO' are very expensive to service. The rotors are extremely 
expensive, even remanufactured ones are still a few hundreds dollars per 
rotors. Check the conditon of the front rotors before you make them an 
offer. Maybe V8s owners from this group can give an idea as to how much 
it cost to replace the front brakes?
