Hi, helping out a friend with his 1972 magnum. he is in need of a clean pair of volvo drives, we think they are 280s? Anyone know of any? thanks!

ok thanks!

Gerry, I have drives that can be converted to trim and tilt. It would be in a kit form made by someone else.

ok , what are you asking for drives and kit? thanks, Gerry

I thought you were considering my 72 sedan, and possibly going to outboards never heard from you and I see that you bought another one. Very disappointed that you didn't even call me. Good luck in finding drives, they are almost non-existent and if you do find a set it will cost you $13 to$14,000 per pair plus $ 7,000 for installation . Yes I do know how trim and tilt can be built however I only share that with people who are straight with me. Have a g ood day

Mr. Vinyl- Before you assault my character please re read my post, it clearly states that I am looking for drives to help out a friend.
I will not comment any further or bash you on a public forum because this is how I roll. have a great day.

Before we take this any further you need to go back and look at your emails on this particular project. September 2018 and back you were looking for a sedan for yourself and indicated you wanted to use outboards. I only learned in November that you were looking for a friend which doesn't make any sense ,why doesn't he do it for himself.
You then sent an email saying that you had purchased a 72 sedan in Connecticut. I'm totally confused on what you're where doing and rightfully upset because you indicated you were going to call me before you did anything.. Everybody that knows me considers me as one of the the most knowledgeable & honest person to deal with in this business . I have worked with people all over the world which is not the easiest because of many problems shipping insurance duty taxes Etc
You did promise to call after some family matters were taken care of ,however never heard from you. I didn't consider my previous email as and insult or assault on your character I was stating the facts ,
if you disagree with them let me know. Just a call or email to let me know what was going on would have been common courtesy. I am sorry that you took offense with my statements.

Hey Mr Vinyl- Bud, It was nice speaking with you today,I'm glad we had a chance to discuss our differences and clear up any confusion regarding our previous emails /texts. Best Regards, Gerry
