They DO know! There is chat about how the original hydropneumatic compensator was replaced with a much cheaper spring kit. BAD IDEA. I replaced my 3.5 coupe spring kit with a NOS compensator (paid $400 IIRC) and it rode way better. On Thu, Dec 27, 2018 at 10:59 AM Andrew Strasfogel wrote: >

This car has been on the market at over $90k for the last year or so with no takers. First, the “restoration” was totally insane if they truly invested that kind of money into it. Second, many of the people who would care about the provenance are dead or no longer driving. And I have it on
