It followed me home.

I found a 1996 Neon ACR coupe about a mile from our office. It has a bad engine, which has been removed and the car has been sitting inside a shop for a year. The owner knew what it was, so I couldn't get it for scrap value, but for $500...it's not a bad deal (the transmission is worth 1/2 that)

Pixors/etc soon. It'll probably take over the NYG's spot, as it's rust-free, stick and in much better shape. Not to mention it's an ACR.

2.4 swap! Start looking for the 2.4 out of, well, anything Mopar, but the 2001-era PT Cruiser is a natural. It's got a better head design than the late-'90s Cloud Cars. You won't believe how the extra torque wakes a Neon up.

SRT-4 swap?

We'll see..I'm looking at the 2.4 swap page now.

I think it's honestly going to come down to which engine I find first.

Per, if you are driving by Lansing on the way to work I might have a later cloud car 2.4L or two available.

Too bad about that whole 2600 daily mile commute, that will wear on you. (OB Fla>Middle of Mitten>OB Fla)

Please tell me your new one is not red.

It's black. cheap respray over dings. Might have to become something g-narly.

Ok, just sold the NYG for $425 plus a bunch of DOHC engine parts, Mopar ECU, header.

This is getting towards challenge level budgeting weird.

coughBEC!coughcough

They were cooler than the Strawberry Red ones ;)

Thanks for the clarification

I was thinking about painting my classic Mini NYG so I could be just like Per when I grow up.

Pics of the new car are posted...and yes, defiinitely still for Rallycross. Per

How come I never run across deals on Neons like this? bleh

^IMHO, because most neons have made there way to yards and crushers

Neon4891 has it...they've become hard to find around here...and sticks are impossible to find. I stumbled across this one...and jumped as soon as the owner said yes.

My R/T was in great shape when I practically gave it to my sister last year. Now it's one more Neon on the fast-track to the junkyard.

in my case it doesn't help that I live in the rust belt
