*******The car is listed as a 6.9, owever after input regarding the VIN # of this car, ther enthusiast have informed me that it is not a 6.9. I will be happy to text pictures of the engine, r any thing else you may want. When I bought the car, he fellow I purchased it from represented it as being a 6.9. I am new to European cars and I did not know the difference. The story the man told me was that he flew in from Oregon to San Francisco to purchase the car, hen drove it back to Oregon. He owned the car for many years. He moved to Mississippi, old the car, hen repurchased it from the person he sold it to. You can request more pictures or other information by texting (606) 344-1986. Thanks for your interest.
