That car is a deathtrap, unless they seriously modified the rear suspension.
A cool, and doubtless fun deathtrap, but still a deathtrap.
I had a low mileage 80 sunbird as a first car. It was by far the worst handling car I've ever owned, and I've driven some real beaters in my time.
I put a v8 in a 78 Monza Spyder (same car underneath) and put all of three miles on it, before becoming thoroughly terrified of it.
If you do buy it though, I've still got a wooden toolbox I custom built to fit in the trunk of mine around here somewhere.Last edited by GoodSamaritan; 11-14-2011, 12:25 AM.Owner of the only known 5 speed box wagon with a lift kit.

very interesting, but can you imagine trying to find parts for it?
You bump into something and you might as well junk it then and there.
