Ad claims to have a 1 of 52 Reliant K Government contract car. Anyone have any ideas about this?  Not buying it myself, just curious.

I know some peeps in that area who know FWD turbo Mopars, if anyone needs it checked out.

It's the Real Deal.  I remember when it was for sale on T-M

I like that car so much that it’s making me uncomfortable.

Pumpers look inexplicably “right” on that...though swiss cheese or pizzas seem more fitting. berkeley, that’s hot.

Swiss are almost impossible to find anymore.   Been looking for a set of 4x100 for a while now.

I also really like running the Lace and the later 16" Spiralcast on the K-Wags.

That's cool even to me, for whom "K car" is a punch line.

Damn that thing is c-l-e-a-n.

It still ain't worth $4800.

While in school, my brother knew a dude with a stick-shift, K-car wagon that very much looked like a fleet-issue. No idea if it was turbo or not as I only saw the car once (and it was night).
