[DML] Vin 805 (WAS: Legend Cars)

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yup. I know you still lurk, and was hoping for you to chime in..  :)

I don't think Chris reads the DML, but I think Toby does.  Maybe he can fill in the blanks, or correct my information on that particular engine.  I still have the photos I took when I came to visit (thanks for the drive in the Chevy powered DMC!) 

Seeing photos of the engine in 805 would be helpful in determining what version of turbo this car had.  I thought you said it "looked like the twin turbo engine in SSI".. Which is quite distinctively different than the Island turbo kits...  But I am older too, and my memory is not so good a lot.

Maybe Arnie can provide more information on it?  Or a contact for the person who bought the parts.
