I do wish parts weren't following the trend and getting so stupid expensive. Truth be told, parting them out may be where the most money is, 2.7 motors going for $4500, 3.0's going for $6-8k in need of rebuild, 3.2 going for $12k+ with no non history. Certain parts are extremely crazy.

@rustyvw- I'm actually tired of the Fuchs, mostly because everyone else has them now.
