Fun for the whole family (my BIL's newest rig waiting for paint).

Yes, it's LS6 powered.

When I was 17, my folks decided it was time for me to get some wheels. A local car lot had a beautiful 1969 Datsun 1600 roadster for $4500. Looked almost exactly like this, save for the wheels:

But no, convertibles are unsafe and I needed 4wd for the 3 inches of snow we get a year. Ended up with this for the same price: (my actual pic)

1986 Bronco II - base model, no A/C, tach or power anything, 4x4, 2.9L, 5spd. Leaked oil like crazy, always had some weird electrical problem. Had new Maaco paint job that lasted 3 years before the clearcoat burned off...

Needless to say, I still lust after classic Japanese sports cars...

1st stick (aside from the John Deere) that I drove. I remember it would "Hop" when close to stalling.

In reply to Rob_Mopar:

Looks that way but it's a 462, "Double Hump" casting...and there's only one of them in the picture.

1...462...1462...Meh. My wit isn't the sharpest since being relegated to 3rd shift.
