I have recently learned that geo metro convertibles are a thing.

Unfortunately, the only people who owned them are crazy.



I will show u how



Also, why were they a thing? Also, did you know that the G13B that was in these things had a hollow camshaft with pressed cams? Holy poo poo.

That '93 wouldn't have had a G13 if it's a 1.0L 3-cylinder.

The G10 is a freak loving engine, especially in the Canspec turbo trim.

The Sebring didn't exist yet so a few manufacturers were trying to fill the 'cheapest convertible possible' niche.

Stupid drivers always breaking car, Gronk fix car...
The convertibles have the closest gearing and shortest final drive of all the G10's gearboxes. Supposedly it makes the Sprint Turbo even more fun to drive.

I wish my King Cab was in such great shape. I haven't seen anything in Sweden even close to that condition. Out of curiosity, how much are they asking for it? Everyone needs a reasonably sized 4WD truck in their life, and so do you.

Seems cheap. Buy it. You don't need a stupid BMW that always breaks, you need a D21.

I paid about a third of that for mine in somewhat dubious condition, but even the ones I've seen here more expensive than that one haven't been nearly as good looking. As long as the frame hasn't rusted apart it's likely a bargain. At that price you could probably offload it in Sweden for a decent profit.

"all I did was swap the engine. It is all original, unmolested" :what:

It's definitely hit something with the paint damage on the bumper. There's also some weird damage or rust on the corner of the rear quarter panel that I'd be concerned about. I'm not really a fan of the 85's with the black bumpers and the lack of spoiler on it. My 86 aw11 looked a lot better with the color matched bumpers. If the interior is in good shape, engine work looks good, and the damage doesn't seem too bad I think $2000 or somewhere around there would be good.

I'm not sure what he's talking about with the no luggage rack comment. I can't recall that ever being an option.

I've wondered this so many times about those mutant zombie cars. There is clearly a ton of effort put into them and they always look like poo poo, I have to imagine it's just an exercise in "can I do this"?
