QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Mar 31 2004, 12:33 AM) We have factory sixes in this area selling for under 10k. Why buy a conversion when you can have the real thing ?? B I will voice my opinion now publicly- Physican RUN as fast as you can from this car! Nomex on! Geoff A car already in Canada has easy title transfer and no customs hassles. You save possibly $3000 in delivery costs from California. Most conversions started with bigger engines and engines are likely in much better condition. Most conversions have two movable seats. Most conversions already have a bunch of improvements added. Still, an original six has some cache, and I am looking anyway. Geoff, That is a little uncalled for. Some guys pour their heart and soul into a car. Your words do not impress me at all. You need the nomex. Every car is a good deal at some price. Just because you Yanks cooked your 2.7 engines does not mean to say everyone did. Same thing with 2.0 /4 heads; cracked heads here are very uncommon. DaveP |
