I'm with you Steve! Totally agree! E38's and E49's were excellent. (Was doing up a VH to E49 specs back in the 80's until life got in the road). A good mate had an E48, which was the last of them that Chrysler made (52 made in VJ series..... Dana diff ...... awesome ..... brute rocket). Great Meme Jeff!!!!!

Yes,i bought and sold a couple of these back in the 1970's,i forget what the models were but they both had the triple Webers.
Easy to sell like the Prince Skylines,never had them for more than a couple of weeks.

I bet you wish you still had them now to sell.
Nearly two years ago, could not find a recent sale price.

Me too Jeff!!!!! I could have bought my mates one for $2200 back in the day. (He'd just spent a sh!t load on getting a new short motor, webers fully rebuilt, we'd done a full matching respray, proper codes etc. I had the rods and pistons etc and could have easily had the block at the time). It was mint, I've got a feeling it was the first of the 52. From memory, the engine number was E38D360000001. I hate to think what I could have had. But, at least I have the memory.

A comment from a YouTube video about the Hillman Imp. Possibly apocryphal but I like it anyway.

When Chrysler took over the Rootes group the Australian factory had 'Rootes Australia' in big letters atop the roof. Chrysler wanted to add their name to make it say 'Chrysler Rootes Australia' until it was explained to the Americans what that meant in the local vernacular.

Yes Jeff,Drug Dealers must have a weakness for rare/expensive cars.
The Federal,and State as well i assume, Police track the sale of new expensive cars,Lambo's,Ferrari etc,so more cautious Crims. buy 2nd hand classics cars.

3 litres, 12 cylinders, 414 bhp @ 11,500 rpm. Impressive exhaust system and what a great sound.
