And now for something completely different...

A diesel Jetta

That 510 looks pretty nice to me. Too bad I already have a rusty Datsun project.

That 510 needs to be daily driven, not run in the Challenge.

I just passed through Lincolnton last week (location of the 510). This must be a sign from God!

That turbo motor is 5 miles from me. Guess I should go ahead and get it, right?

Poisonosbeef...that user name hits too close to home for me today, I got a bad cheeseburger last night at a local drive-thru and I'm still paying for it.

Why couldn't the 510 be both a challenger and a daily driver? Swap in a KA or VG series engine, upgrade the supension/running gear and pop in some later model seats. You wouldn't beat the hard-core competitors but you'd end up with a very nice ride. Leave the patina intact please.

(BTW I have no affiliation with any of the sellers, just thought I would share the fruits of my boredom.)

I was drooling over that 510, too. I'm keeping an eye on that one.

Here's another interesting project closer to home... A Lexus V8 should fit in there somewhere...

I need to stop looking at eBay Motors for a while. That 510 wagon is the 5th or 6th bitchin' challenge priced car in North Carolina I have come across this week and it's only Tuesday.
