at the time I turned down 20k for it... check some of the auctions and see most of the cut-a-ways from this time period are bringing 50k to $150k and none have the trans... just say'n you never know... I use to buy XKE s for $1500 -2500 and air cooled 911's for $3-5k... just never know... when something has more value than a box of cash...
