I should probably stay away from rusty 4.5L C107s, right? Rhetorical question? I've never been too attracted to the C107, whereas the R107 is worth some trouble. Still, if it runs (or can be made to) and is cheap enough it could be fun. Wouldn't be my first choice, unless the interior was

The coupe is not as cute as the roadster - I was always threatening to bash in the center of the roof of mine to give it a pagoda roof. I think the coupe is a better highway driver due to the longer wheel base. The 5.0 rally cars were all coupes On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 8:54 AM, Jim Cathey
