Re: A MUST SEE MARINETTE EXPRESS

Although it is very nice, I would think they would be hard pressed to get the $55k asking price!

I don't know what the pro/con's are, but I would suggest switching to zf hurth downangle trannies versus staying with inline trannies if you are thinking of buying new.
