  • Man, I'm struggling with this one. Help

    I like this a bunch, but not sure I gotta have it.

    Jump. I keep hearing it's a little slot-car, and now it has the motor to back it up.

      I had one in high school with the v6. It was a great car.

      Problem with the 302 is that it will make it really nose heavy. It'll go in a straight line but won't be fun in the corners anymore.

                Shipping weight was officially 2395lbs per my reference source.
                With an 80 odd hp base motor and a 100hp optional inline-4, I'm guessing the rear end is not anything too manly.
                Weird, neat, little car though.

                I think you've got enough stuff though....wait, did I just say that?

                  A reinstalled a late model 4.0 V6 with a supercharger will correct the balance and still cover a to b in a rather fun way.

                    When i was in the UK in the summer of 1990 I saw a lot of those, the newer ones were a little better looking.

                      72's won't have the giant bumper needed for laws in 73. Really light car too. I bet it would be really fun to put Stang owner's to shame.

                        I don't know man. Doesn't sound like your heart is really in it. Besides, you have tons of other cool stuff. This would just be one more thing clogging up the works that you would have to take time to sell. Fun to bench race, but I think you should pass.

                            Do it-that's a steal and you won't lose money on it. Those are impossible to find now.

                            I have seen one of those run tens on little skinny street radials.
