I agree with Marc on all of this. Torsion bar failure is not a widespread problem and no one is going to worry about this kind of silly stuff (my apologies to Paul) for decades, when it actually IS a problem. And as far as non-owners that are all worked up over this parts availability stuff - doesn't it show something when the actual owners are not concerned? i think it's kinda funny how the recent additions to the list seem to be rallying everyone to make sure there are parts available for future owners - you don't need to worry about it! there will be parts! we really need to quit crying over quarter panel dies, torsion bars, etc.... cars are being parted out all the time and there's nothing to worry about..................... just ask the list WHEN THE TIME COMES! that's what i have learned. no part is inaccessible. if you have the $$$, that is.
