Gaaa.  If that were stock...  A manual '95 wagon is the most desirable.

Wait, what?

$3700 for a non running SW2??

Maybe it's time to sell Shifty and Slushie...

After owning many of these cars since buying my first wagon new in '94, I can confidently say they are neither of those things.

I had a weird dream once about building a Land Speed SW2. In the dream, they had a super-low cd when you shaved the roof rack and added wheel covers, like .09. Adding an ebay turbo got the horsepower over 450. It was a weird dream indeed.

LOL, I had a friend who was an attorney back in the 90's early 00's.  She special ordered two manual SW2's with leather interior in a row.  When the first one came in the dealership owner came in to hand it over personally.  He said he wanted to see who would order a twin cam, manual wagon with leather.  It was simply a does not compute for everyone in the dealership at the time.

There was a land speed ecotec in the early 00s. I think it was in a saturn too.

Basically the team just cranked nitrous until something broke, then they made that part a little better, and went for more. By the time they were done I think they were at 700+ hp through the ecotec on nitrous

I remember when Gassers, custom vans, and beat, but original paint (patina) were laughed at. Give it time. It will be desirable. Eventually.

You're looking at next decade's Radwood winner. Better buy it now.

That SC1 would have been a good starting point for a gastropod.  Those are stupid light.  Again, a '95 is the most desirable year for a coupe.
