Yes, I know ("what??").

Looks to have a V6 in it too, but not advertised as such. Person must not know what they have apparently.

Could be fun. Interesting boot lid.

If I wanted to buy it, I'd pay extra for the seller to keep the boot lid and door cards.

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like an old Olds/Buick 225 V6.

I think that's a Buick 231 with probably 110hp when it was new. This is like a base model '79 Regal and an MGB were mashed together.

In reply to pres589:

I was wondering if it's the odd-fire engine?

I think the 231 odd fire came from the 225. That's why it looked so familiar.

I think it looks like crushed velvet to me.
Still gotta go though. As for the trunk lid, if it increases trunk space with the spare upright like it looks it may be good for road tripping.
