Body:
I know what ya mean about forgetting the book...I was just curious.
It's funny, when I was in the car business, regular Mustang 5.0's
always went crazy at the auction...the book on an 87 Lx 5.0 would be
let's say $1750.00, and it would do like $5000.00 or something at the
auction...it's funny sometimes you just can't look at the book at all.
