That’s kind of cool.

I had an 85 720 4x4 king cab. Was a ton of fun. Light weight, shifted better than a 915, relatively torquey engine, comfy seats. Floors rusted out, power steering leaked everywhere, coolant leak rusted out a head stud.

PO had put a Momo steering wheel in it.

Pretty much a unicorn with one owner and 15k miles, but these cars were crap in 1970, rusted like an old Budweiser can and were dangerous at speed as the front end lifted.
I'm sure it'll bring good money, but I was never a fan.

Having said that, I owned a 300ZX and loved it. They had gotten much better 20 years later.

I expect it’ll get a nice price. I test drove and had a chance to buy a similar one back in the early 80’s, but let it go. They’re having a resurgence here in So Cal. I see nice ones almost every cars and coffee.

They look close from that angle, but I don’t think so.

I wanted a Brat so bad in my early 20's when I was wintering in Tahoe... I wonder if laws would even allow riding in the back of them these days?


anybody know what this might be? other than kinda cool.

[Matt Monson]

Might be a Lotus, the one with a Toyota MR2 engine in it?
