I'm tempted from the recent project from Gasoline but I want a wagon.

This has been out there before and I wonder what's up with it. (as usual,I can put eyes on it if someone wants me to).

I looked at them years ago and thought they were a bit chunky. Would make for a nice highway cruiser though!

I actually do dig those cars.

Every time I drive one of these, I want to get a funny hat, stringback driving gloves, and do some long distance TSDs. They're certainly not very fast, but they have a kind of refined panache.

I wonder if it has D-Jetronic in it. I had to deal with one of these that had D-Jet on it, talk about your weird old attempts at EFI. Simple, though, and parts are still readily available.

Contrary to what seller claims, the picts show a decent amount of rust.

Still, I would love to give a try at it. The fact that it is some 850miles from me helps me think before committing
