: seen the car... The dude claims to be moving
: and needs it outa his yard.

Sean,read your latest update.I would be interested in the springs and bars(sway?).The head and injection is Alpina,do you or that fellow know what is different about it?Cam?Valve size?Alpina Intake manifold?
Does it have the Alpina brakes?LSD?I'm interested in all these things Sean, and be willing to put my part in, but I would be relying on two things:That the parts guy is knowledgeable about what he has.And second,that you would be able to identify them as being correct.Let me know what you think.TIA.
