Looks clean, too. Wow. Why does this tempt me?

I have no idea.

That thing rules.

I love the angular lines. And the dash looks like a cockpit layout. Purportedly it's only got 50,000 miles. It's nearly like new! Such a bargain!

Too bad it's not the 2 door hatch.

Should be a carb'd 1.5.

Which means that the older 4g32 would drop right in and give a nice 25-30hp bump.

(Side note: i had no idea the 4g32 was around for so damn long)

My designated driver had one of those cars. It was awful, I think...

As a sedan, meh... if it was a Vista wagon, maybe.

You've been hanging out with Jeff too much

if only it was a later one where a 4G63 drops in without too much effort. Not that the final results wouldn't make the juice worth the squeeze to do it to this one.

That 2 tone brown in kickin'!

I see Manuel has expanded into the Window business now.

Yumpin yeezus someone go buy that thing and do a 4G63T swap now!

yeah, this. that thing is such a sad looking quintessential 80's box that it'd make a KILLER sleeper.

The thoughts have crossed my mind....

hmm...the wiki of all things pedia sez that the 4g63 was used in the 87 and later colts...
