Shame about the automatic but otherwise it looks pretty fun. If it wasn't on the other side of the country I'd be really tempted to pick it up, always loved the 510.

Is it a drag car? Looks like an NHRA standard cage rather than FIA/SCCA.

Is the 15.9 marked in reference to the dial-in time? If so, lol.

Ummmm yeah what the gently caress, there's barely any room for the loving pedals, that's why it's an auto, there's no loving room for a third pedal! Also I don't see how that's remotely safe in a crash, if the roll cage doesn't hold up well your legs are getting pinched big time. It must be a drag car.

My guess is that it's a circle track car. The front tires seem really wide for any drag car. I haven't seen it at any SCCA races in Portland either. Seems like a lot of work to put a lovely 2.9L V6 in there.

It's a V6? It's not a 4.9L / 300CID inline six? :gonk:

Automatic? Ugh. No more then $2k unless you really wanted it. Ask if it's a GS or GSL.

Not a difficult swap to manual, but one would have to source the parts and spend the time and effort, so factor that in if so desired.

Because they average 10mpg, I dislike early S-10s and will have an absolute poo poo load of miles on them.

Also, ugly as poo poo, and not in a cute way.


That's at least an '86.
Fuel system and injectors are probably clogged with varnish. The '86 I revived certainly was, but ran decently once I cleaned everything.

that's what I though he meant, too, until I looked closely at the interior pictures. I was going to say it had to be a case of what was on hand at the time, but the ad says he had the engine built. Why would you not go with something that didn't crowd you out of the car? A 3800 or 4.3 would have worked pretty well. Hell, I bet a 5.0 would fit better, and be cheaper.
Shame, the rest of the car looks pretty sweet.

9 out of 10 the answer is that he already had the engine. Or the engine builder had it sitting around the shop forever and sold it for peanuts. My #1,2 and 3 issues with that car is placement.

Quick question: how much jailtime would you get for having two passengers in those jumpseats on the freeway in this day and age?

You don't get jail time unless they're holding open alcohol containers. And then it depends on your lawyer and whether or not you tried to run from the police.

Having passengers in the bed of a pickup in Indiana can get your truck impounded if the cop is having a lovely day.

Good thing that is not a pickup truck. The whole point of the seats was to make sure it was not subject to truck import taxes.

I highly doubt it would matter today since riding in truck beds is illegal in a lot of places.

I'm betting the laws are around unrestrained passengers in the bed. Either way if you pissed off the cop I'm it would make for a bad time until you sorted it with the judge.

If your car was built before mandatory seatbelt laws, the you can't be ticketed for not wearing it. Doesn't this Brat fall under that kind of thing?

That's where they all went! I wouldn't mind one of those to scoot around in. Price isn't terrible, if the interiors aren't disintegrated from sitting in an uncovered lot in the Arizona sun.
