6.9 anybody?
 
There is one for sale locally. I saw it a few months ago but it was dark and I did not look closely at it. A friend told me about it. It is supposedly rust free with a tired interior and a recently rebuilt motor for big bucks. Asking 3500 but I imagine would take less. I might go by and look at it.

If someone has a real desire I will go look at it.

its silver.

how far is Lafayette from Indy?

Tom,
A 6.9 would have plenty of "hurry up" for your autocross fun !! Those things fly !! I always thought that a 240D badge on the back of one would be good to confuse every one.

Go for it Tom! With a 6.9, you could sit in the back reading the Wall Street Journal while someone else chauffeurs you through the autocross...

Sounds like a good car to throw money at!

Having driven, though not owned, a couple of 6.9 sedans I don't think it'd be much fun at an autocross. These things are for going in a relatively straight line in a big hurry. Turning real sharp, real fast - not so much.

I agree with the part about throwing money at it though!

Hey now, with enough power you can force just about anything through a sharp turn! :D :D

I think with a hitch it would make a fine tow vehicle....if only gas were 32.9 again!:P

A 6.9 is pretty nible for a 5,000 pound car. Unlike most street rods it can indeed corner and you might not notice you took a corner at 70 if you're too focused on where you're going and not too worried about how you got there.

I would expect it to be a fine handling road car. The autocross course though is another matter.;)
