Default So I picked up my V8 and returned back to Europe now...(PICS!!!)

I wanted to thank all the people and businesses which helped me with the car first.
Some of you may have remembered this car a few months back on craiglist..in philly..
I want to thank all that helped out..
Ron was not able to pick it the car so my brother ended up picking the car up..thanks anyway Ron for trying....BLAU for suppling some of the parts for the engine...Myself of course for all the goodies..includig the new exhaust...And most importantly Allen V. over in Waterbury CT, for helping me out with the car in trouble shooting some issues..the car turned out to be a great deal (see pics) and I hope to rescue some more cars like these and prevent them from eventual death....I hope others will follow this as well and not break these cars..meanwhile enjoy the pictures....popcorn anyone???

side shot ..original paint..NO RUST ANYWHERE!

Sorry Paul, but I don't get it: why would you go allll the way to US and buy a V8 and ship it back to Luxembourg than there are many of them going cheap on German eBay and mobile.de? I didn't quite get a point.

p.s. car looks terrific!

Default what can I tell ya....no one can figure me out......

I have already said millions of times I am a real fan of these cars...it sickens me to see people just trash these cars or even scrap them.

I had to rescue this one.

At the same time I was hoping to buy a car to restore and keep in the US....actually when it came around to the end I have gotten stuck and an bettwen seding it to Europe or keeping it their for future use....still considering.

Now I am looking around for yet anohter one..maybe a 200 20v avant or 200 10v avant...or and URQ...have to think about it.
