Hello All,
I am looking for a complete (differential, axles, brakes, springs, etc)
Corvette or Jaguar independent rear suspension assembly. This will be used
in my latest 215 V8 powered project. Does anybody located somewhat nearby
have one they would like to sell? I am located in Utah.
Regards,
Jim

p.s. Do all you in the rest of the world think that we in the States are
completely nuts? Our latest fiasco over the Presidential election must look
just ridiculous to all of you. Our Presidential election process is very
antiquated. But I suppose we must like antiquated things, consider that we
have not yet converted to the Metric system!

Anyone want to ask Jim how he knows this? (sorry Jim, couldn't resist, you
can tell my oil pump
problem some day).
