Hey man! Cool car.

It reminds me of my old '80 hatchback. Someone had swapped all the suspension and drivetrain from an '86 SVO into it. It even had gold Saleen 16x7 and 16x8 wheels on it when I got it. One day a guy flagged me down on 75 asking to buy them. He had a real Saleen and had mangled one of his originals. I got $1500 for the set back in '98!

I eventually put a Dart Jr headed 302 in it with a C4 and a 100-shot. It went 7.38 @ 96 just WALKING out of the hole. It had a really tight converter. I swapped in a T5 and it felt a lot faster, especially out of the gate, but someone stole it before I could run it again.
