Scirocco is left a little close to the heater for too long: droop.

Luxrage: Jan 2, 2017; I have no idea what I'm doing!

https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5958972449.html this thing has a very frankenstein'd history, but it looks friggin' amazing

quote:

This is a 1979 VW Cabriolet body wrapped around a mid engine Fiero chassis and powered by a GM L67 V6. The L67 was originally supercharged but now it has a Holset HX40 turbo instead of the supercharger. The car runs and drives excellent and is registered and insured with current tags. Pink slip is in my name and in hand. It is smog exempt which I will explain over the phone if you are interested. I personally built this car. The turbo sticks up above the decklid and the intercooler is mounted on top of the roll cage. It is loud and in your face. Gets crazy looks every where you go. It makes 11 psi boost right now but there is room for much more with bigger injectors. I think this car could run in the 10's with a little bit of work. I estimate the hp at 300 now at the crank but 450 should be possible on the current long block. 285mm wide tires in the rear.

Hmm, to be smog exempt at 79, he's either got it titled as something else, or it started life as a diesel. Still, neat swap, if bizarre.

I think the Citation and Pontiac Kleenex was the X body.

You are correct. H was my Monza, the Vega, and siblings thereof. Later, the FWD Olds 88, Buick LeSabre, and Pontiac Bonneville.
Not sure how I mixed that up. I mean, the "performance" Citation was the X-11. It's right there in the name!

I like that it's mostly just pictures of the seats. Ad should have been for the seats, with the car for $1400 more.

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Depends on the spec but list for oem recaros can be thousands.
