[Mgs] A modest proposal

[Hans Duinhoven]

I just talked about this with some collegues.
One, who is an American living in the Netherlands for many years already 
just has imported a Chrysler 300C with the biggest hemi V8 (an engine he 
always wanted to have...).
The car looks as new, but the price tag is much lower than the local new 
price overhere - difference is more than $20K!

So I was wondering, that I could sell my GT having need of an engine 
overhaul and get me a nice USA LBC instead....

Keep them rolling!

Cheers,

Hans
