My brother used to have a Mirage. Pretty cool little car in its day.

Cool. My dad had a V6/5-speed Oldsmobile Starfire back in the day.

I remember seeing a couple of those things back in the day, but they were never common.

How is it possible for those struts to still be able to hold the hatch open?

Am I the only one that thinks this thing could be turned into a really fast short money track car. Wonder if NASA would let you run in the american iron class with this. Can't you just picture Super Dave Osborne in this thing?

In reply to tr8todd:

I don't know. I'm not much of a purist, but I'm thinking this one needs to be saved. Obviously, by someone with much more patience, money, and masochism than me...but saved none the less.

This thing is sweet! Definitely good cool/fun per dollar ratio! If it was closer I'd give up my RX7 pursuit for it.

Holy crap that is RARE!!!! And almost kinda local. Thankfully I have no room for that otherwise I'd be hitting up the divorce court first thing Tuesday.

That would be a hoot with a T56 and a cheap LT1 out of an early 90's F-Body. I honestly did not know if any still existed. There is no way that the car is rustier than my CSX; no car scares me after working on that thing.

Come on fleet... go get it. I'll build the cage and paint it. You and Chris can throw a driveline in it. Chris has room and your wife never has to know about it. Get the guy to come down to 500 and we'd have a sweet challenge car.

I thought all of the Chevy Monzas got turned into drag racers by now, but apparently they missed one.
