I'm interested in a '78 530 that someone has F/S in CA...

heres what he says:

[i]So it's a 5 spd. it was upgraded when the engine was
rebuilt to an 88 M3 close ratio 5 spd. You can check
out some pics and info at www.geocities.com/jiffy_t
I am very motivated to sell, i've disclosed everything
wrong with it in the info section. 24 years is a
while. [/i]

I'm curious to the HP on a car like this, how well you guys think they drive, and if its worth the money he is asking (about $1k).

What effect will the close ration 5spd make on the car? (lower top end, higher top end, faster off the line, etc???)

Thanks in advance!
