[DML] Re: Volvo B27E engine ads (wasHouston/Wolf)

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI,

If some of the gear head, pack rats out there have car magazines
saved from the mid to late 1980's, check out the parts for sale
ads in the back of the magazines like Car & Driver, Motor Trend,
Autoweek, Car Craft and other similar magazines.

It's cool to see these Volvo B27E engines being advertised in
these mainstream car magazines.
