[W126 Coupe] '91 for sale

[Jay Febish]

Attila,
Just tried to call you. I had also tried to call Mike, but as usual,  
he doesn't answer. I'll probably have to see if he's interested in  
them. Otherwise, if I find another coupe in good condition, I could  
always put them on it. I really liked the way the car looked with  
them. I messaged Mendel up in PA to see what he might have. Also, Jono  
is going to do some checking around his area and has offered to help  
me deal with the insurance co. I would think that with his expertise  
on W126s, he could help convince them of the true worth as opposed to  
NADA book.
