EDIT AGAIN
I'm seriously over here looking at importing a kei truck/van from 25 years ago now.

I sold my beater Civic yesterday and did a CL search for anything pre-75 local to me and found this: http://chico.craigslist.org/cto/5406314124.html





It's a little pricey for non-running project and I'm doubtful I can find a windshield outside of Japan or SE Asia but damned if I don't want it bad. Even my GF likes (the idea of) it. It would be cool to restore it period correct, or swap in a GL1100. I haven't been able to find much on Conys in English, let alone parts. Repro windshield and engine gaskets are available, but that's about it...

I'd be really sad if you guys smashed up that many X90s. If they had had a title on hand, I would have bought a red 4x4 5 speed manual X90 from a junkyard in maine a year before Tremek found me my Justy. Tiny fuel sipping manual 4x4s with zero parts availability just appeal to me for some reason.

Also, it's about time that CL finally realized maybe they should make things easier on their users by adding a zipcode-distance search instead of futilely attempting to retain users by getting stuff like crazedlist/searchtempest taken down or broken by changing their site. The harder you grasp your userbase, the more of them slip through your fingers.

Man that looks cool but it's going to be a 2-stroke and like you said, parts availability. I'm down with driving around say a late 80s Suzuki kei van because it's rad but at least I can find parts, it's reliable and as comfortable as you can get in a 10 foot long deathbox with 50 horsepower.

You can fit a 115/120hp Johnson V4 in there no problem.

If that is really a manual transmission monte it is totally worth it. The paint work is actual good quality just I prefer not to rock a child molester motif. Not sure about what a pop top is. I don't think that is oem.

You could get Monte Carlos with T-tops, but not a targa top, like that... Which means he hacked the center brace out. :v:

I'd be shocked if it really was a manual, people make that mistake posting CL adds all the time. When I narrow a search to MANUAL about 1/4 of them are automatics that were listed wrong.

Well the brace probably only matters for a roll over since it is body on frame, but I suspect they cut the whole roof out and that was not a t top car. Otherwise what would they have to stick back over the hole?

Interesting swap, but I don't think I would call it a "sleeper" in the sense of that thing being much faster than with an auto unless that 302 has been played with. That thing has to be 4000lbs+

Pretty sure that'a the stock motor with a T5 from a fox body. Intakes on the Mustangs were flipped.

Yeah, that sure looks like the stock 302. It's a Mustang motor in the same way that all 350s are Vette engines.

The upper intake can be mounted in either direction. And the only difference that I know of between the standard- and high-output intakes is the size of the throttle body. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two visually, but I'm by no means an expert.

True, I want to say the motors were putting out 190hp for that year. With some bolt ons and a supercharger it would be pretty cool. I don't know I like weird cars and I'd daily drive the hell out of it.
