I just saw one of those go for $9k in the Recycler.

I had one briefly back in my Pizmo Beach Days with a 2180, drove it a little on the street with big G50 slicks on the rear. I hated the huge metal flake in the gelcoat because it reminded me of a Schwinn Stingray bicycle seat. Kept cracking the transmission nose/ pan mount. Gee I wonder why? It would pull the front wheels off the ground for about 20 feet on a hard launch. Guy who bought still has it although its a little worse for wear. Remember those sandrails called "Pinto Beans"? Same guy put a flat 6 in a Squareback and won the Ego Challenge at Saugus Speedway back in 85'. I recall it was a track record for non V8 cars.
