DaveC:

The V8 version has a much lower and wider grill than the older six cylinder versions.  Prices for the V8s range wildly in the US with some below $100K and others over $350K.  I appreciate and enjoy all the comments and discussion.  This is a great car enthusiast group.

I have not seen prices under 250k for a V8 cabriolet in mint condition over the last 2 years probably (only looking at auctions).

It is interesting that both cars in Lars' links have air condition, quite expensive add on. But still, both of the cars are 2.8l R6.
