OOOOOOOOOOO, get a 180D. You have not lived till you have heard one of those run. They sound like a piston or some other hunk of metal is gonna come tru the hood any second. Loudest car engine I've ever heard. They have a push rod engine. Some wheres around 40HP with great fuel mileage, four speed on the tree. Max

Can't tell you the number of times I have bit on a serious fixer upper and the money I blew down the drain trying to bring it back. I suppose if you could do it all yourself, you might be able to make one like this work, but that's not even likely.
