Not mine, standard disclaimers apply. This has been listed before but it keeps getting cheaper and cheaper. Yeah, yeah, parts are hard to find but it's definitely cool and becoming downright inexpensive.

The big block conversion is to fit a 2.6 Trooper engine into these, they have weak headgaskets, beware of rust on the front shock towers, interesting switch panels especially the indicators.
Fun car, I actually saw one on the road yesterday.
I though these were cool when they were new.
I forget; are they rear wheel drive?
Yup RWD. Had a friend with the identical car, I'm taunting him into inquiring about this one. Stock they had something like 95hp n/a & 115hp for the turbo version iirc.
Its the same platform as the chevette (although at some point in the pruduction run the rear suspension was changed I think.)
