I had a poster of this on my wall as a kid, I wanted one so bad. Seeing it here makes me want one again.

But at original MSRP, not the $250k they said they go for now…

    That’s awesome, and hey how are you!

    I love cars as much as I love trying to be an artist. Have you done an engine swap? My son is thinking about dealing in a k engine into his early 90s Nissan Hard Body pickup.

      It’s beyond what I have time for, so no. I can’t imagine it’d be much different than a standard engine replacement for that combo if there’s knowledge out there. Look more toward forums and maybe YouTube for info. Reddit/tiktok/instagram/Facebook builds are worthless in terms of explaining how it’s done and have atrocious searchability. I big on a different car and answer the same damn questions over and over.

      I’ve dreamt of swaps but I lucked upon bikes that go way faster for way cheaper. It killed my mod ambition quite a bit, but boosted my appreciation for cars as-is. I mean, I had a Geo Tracker for a while and no desire to do anything to the 90hp engine. 0-60: yes

        Lol! “0-60: Yes”

        No way I’d trust myself on bikes, so much faster and a great ride. And I struggle keeping it legal with my current weight to horsepower ratio.

        Though on the track I bet it’s an absolute blast!

        What kind of bikes?
