 They are indeed importable now. Much cheaper and more horsepower than the
original. They kicked up the horsepower to regain HP lost due to US
emissions equipment. Did not take much to increase HP as 80's technology was
been significant improved.
 I don't remember which mag I read this in. I think it was in Autoweek or
Excellence Magazine. Does not include the only legally US imported,
unmolested 959 owned by collector Otis Chandler.
