You talking about the two-tone horror in the "Jamie's next project" thread? Yeah, they are probably about as cheap as they are going to get right now, and a good opportunity. Compare to its contemporary competitor, the E30 chassis BMW M3, which was just an old car ten years ago and now is a hot ticket. All those '80s factory hot rods are getting rare, and eventually they will be so rare that no matter what the condition they will be worth saving. Every time I read an article about the early '80s Audi Turbo Quattro coupe (aka ur-Quattro) I kick myself for not buying one I saw on a used car lot for $5K about 10 years ago. Had obviously been run hard and put away wet---it was only running on four cylinders, and the paint job was half original white and half rattlecan flat black---but it still would have been a good buy. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
