What can I say other than I always regretted selling this car, But after a few years of waiting and 20K more miles on the Odometer she is now back in my hands. History: I saved this car back in 2003 from a local Pull a part yard. Back then I was a dsmer with high hopes of having the fastest DSM in Tucson AZ, Sadly I didnt have the funds to accomplish my goals, I did however find enough money to buy this colt. I was walking through the junkyard when I saw this colt sitting with the hood open and missing a fender and a Cyl head, Back then I knew nothing of CSM's. But I did notice that this car had a Turbo exhaust manifold in it! I was like, WTF? So that night I did the research and came upon 4G61t.org. Thats when I realized the rareness and potential of that sad little car. SO i saved up$400 and bought it. I didnt get any pics while she was in the Junker, But here it is in my garage. ![]() I ended up installing a Used Jap motor with low miles which ran great until the tbelt ripped on the highway. I had warranty on that motor so i got another which is the current motor in the car today. Here is how she sits today: in 2011. I have some big plans for this, However It will be a slow build. I currently have another two projects on my hands at the moment. ![]() ![]()

Great story and good job on saving the car. These cars are like Hemi Cudas except they aren't worth much. |

Update..... I was forced to sell the car again in 2012. I am I. The process of buying her back but this time it is has a half completed AWD install done to it. Rear subframe/diff is in and now to finish her! Anyone selling a factory cyborg Awd crossmember? |
