NMNA - talk about obscure Japanese vehicles. I never knew Suzuki offered anything in the USA back in '72, let alone with 4-wheels???

I see they'd advanced a lot by the time they got to the samurai.....
Wow, that thing is COOL. 2 cly 2 stroke off-roader, sign me up
I do believe that is actually known as the Suzuki Jimny. Not gemini.

Back in the mid 90's my brother bought two of them. A tin top and a vert. My favorite memory is the sticker on the dash warning to not attempt to carry a load more than 350lbs. We looked at each other, did the math and started laughing.
Iirc the datsun 1200 motor and trans was the "hot swap" back then. We actually found a donor but never finished it.
Yep, that's the predecessor to the Samurai. Neat little machines.

My first thought was 'Busa. 
How about 4 HF 6.5 hp clones hooked up to the trans.
IIRC, this thing was built on Jimny axles.
