Here it is.

I'm a little confused as to what engine it has. The title says it's a 5L, and 928registry.org says 4.8L V8 FI SOHC 12V. It's got a few mechanical issues (I believe the TT bearings are shot), but overall it's in much better shape than my '80 is. I may end up parting out the '80. If I do, I'll give the folks here the first shot at everything.

That's rare as hens teeth.

Have you checked the frame? The 12V was famous for cracked frames on the driver side.

That's the super special 1.5 valve per cylinder P-SOHC model

I spent a considerable amount of time checking this one out. Mechanical stuff I can deal with. Welding in a structurally vital chunk of Steel is something I can’t fix.
It was dam nice to drive one again though. It will be even better without the TT noise.
