Re: [MarcosManiacs] California Marcos owners

Walt,
Mine has the B-30 also. Origionaly had the BW automatic but I changed it over to the M410 4 speed with Overdrive. Also had a custom rear end with 3.05 to 1 gears built for it. It is a great Highway driver.

Best Regards, 
Larry

>>>Hello Larry,
>>>I live in Northern California and I once owned a 1970 Marcos with VIN 3V5536. It is possible the 3 may have been an 8; I'd be curious to know if you happen to have the provenance on the car?
