A few of the parts car. Again, I started it yesterday - it smokes now, but did not when I parked it a year ago, so it is probably a sticky oil ring or possibly valve guide seal. Regardless, you will probably not run with the 4G32 anyways.
A little paint peeling on the hood. Hood is slightly open.

Dirty, but it runs 
Crusty, but you will strip it

I saw that one Wilson, that is the one I was talking about, too bad it is sold already and was on the wrong side of the continent for me.... I had one in high school that I bought for $75 bucks from a next door neighbor. Lost it to a city pothole that ripped the rear axle mount fromt he frame(can we say BIG A$$ hole). Sold it to a guy for $150 as was.
Kicking around the idea of caging the '84 Volvo wagon I have  Would be a crowd favorite for sure. All be it very slow and sideways, but for sure fun. Even kicking the idea of a mid-engine wagon. Not sure the class or if it would even be legal in any. Plenty of room inside of it for a midly built V6 power plant.

Why not a sedan 240? You can impress and wow people with good driving rather than the 'freak" or 'novelty" aspect. And they don't have to be slow, it's very easy to make a 240 fast. |

So, 3 colts and all their parts have overrun my house and my life. It's time to sell the "Parts Car" that came with this rallycar. It's really not much of a parts car anymore, actually it drives really nice now. I'd drive it pretty much anywhere. Looking for $1200 or so. Lots of spare parts come with.
