This sweet car cost me $250. It gets about 20 mpg around town if I stay out of it. I characterize it as “effortlessly slow” since unlike some four bangers it really doesn’t work that hard to go slow.
Mods: Dog dish hubcaps -$30
Color Matched Painted Steel Wheels - $30
Stock rear bumper flush mounted
Future mods:
Possibly lower it with blocks in the back and turn down the torsion bar in the front.
Plan: Daily driver
Possible rallycross back-marker and Babe Rally candidate.
Fix some of the minor rust.
