[W126 Coupe] Conversion 380 to 500euro

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Attila:

Once the engine is out and the chassis is parted and removed, time is on 
my side.  I want to talk about this 'cam' opportunity with you as soon 
as is possible.  Can you provide a phone # and time that is convenient 
for a talk?  Or call me at anytime at 508-641-8477.

Regards,

Dick
