"think the idea is that you would park with your honey and put on a romantic tune or two... seems like you'd be rudely interrupted 25 times an hour" And then there were 8-tracks. Yeah, they were a big improvement - you could tell how things were going - if she didn't notice that the music was starting over   Reminds me of the famous old poem from my high school days: "Oh John, please let's not park here tonight!" "Oh John, please let's not park here!" "Oh John, please let's not park!" "Oh John, please let's not!" "Oh John, please let's!" "Oh John, please!" "Oh John!" "Oh!"

Well, whatever you'd call it, here it is. I'm surprised the bidding has gone that high, frankly, yet the reserve is not met.

they actually seem to be fairly common, at least as far as these conversion go. I like this one, even if the interior is a bit dated. cheap fun if done right! Plus, it's not like anyone else was making a V8 performance 4 door with a stick at the time, right? other than a BMW 5 series I guess... At least the engine fits nicely in this car (expected since a I4 and a V6 also fit!), and it should be robust enough to handle the power if you don't go nuts. The real winner though would be the same set up in a 940 wagon. Now we are talking!

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 04, 2009 10:28 am) And I can see why the guy wants more that the current $5+k bid on it. Labor of love sort of thing. |

Replying to: stickguy (Nov 04, 2009 11:21 am) Gee, go buy a really nice & clean C4 Vette for $8500. |

Replying to: stickguy (Nov 04, 2009 11:21 am) I thought there was a tuner in CT who specialized in that sort of thing. Not sure if it was 940's - it might have been 240's and 740's. IIRC, Paul Newman used to drive one. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 04, 2009 10:28 am) That was a stroker motor though and had a high rise single plane manifold with a 850 CFM Holley on it. Crazy car very much a sleeper. A guy that worked as the same autogroup as me but a different dealer had a 240 V8 wagon that he used to tow his 318ti race car. Now that is a crazy combination.
