I have a colleague at work that "restored" one a few years ago. He went on and on and on about how he sourced parts that were NLA to get it back to perfect condition. He eventually had lots of issues with the way it ran. I think he got that fixed and ended up selling it. He swore up and down that it was going to be worth $75k or something like that once it was restored. I suspect he sold it for 10-20% of that.
I now know that even if the car itself is in any way still kind of cool, you'd probably be far better off swapping in a Chevy LSx motor. |
Ohhh the pure sex of that design! Has anyone here ever dropped a manual into one of the v12s?
