I have been using my 77s targa converted to cab as a daily driver for the last 8 months while waiting on an LS-2 engine transplant in a small truck (Colorado) I own. It has taken on all of the flooding, freezing, sun-baking, traffic, etc. that Houston has to offer. It currently has 172,000 miles on it, 12,000 of those put on it in the last 8 months. I was trying to sell the car before I put my truck in the shop, but, since it has performed so flawlessly in the last 8 months I have decided I will just keep it and enjoy it. The car has the infamous 2.7 (all recommended updates including: 11 blade fan, carrera tensioners, pop-off, etc.) mated to a 915 tranny (rebuilt in October 2005).
