Hey, thanks Cebby. That some interesting stuff there. I didn't realize the M series went back so far. I thought the 5M was the first. That 2000GT is pretty sweet too.

Thanks!

you wanna see some interesting history, take a look at the R series. that one goes back to the 50s!

never knew the 5M was available with a carb. i think we only got the 5M-E in the states for 2 years, and both of those were analog EFI. i thought about putting one in my truck once
