There's a great musician Luther Vandross biography coming up. He owned a MCI5A conversion, I think, does anyone own it?

I heard a song of his driving from work "Buy Me A Rose" and stopped and bought Sonja a dozen roses the song touched home with me ,people that have been married for years sometime forget, don't know anything about him owning a MCI 5 though

Marvin Gaye had a 5 or 5A too.  Saw it for sale in Yuma almost 20 years ago.
