Ok, so here's something you don't see every day ;) We already know Ethan has an opinion on this one but I think they're pretty cool :thumbs: Like all Eliot projects, "Kostya" found this beauty on eBay of all places... I had been looking at one in Mexico that was a little earlier but it was repainted and had an aftermarket interior in it. This one is an ALL original 23K mile Brazilian manufactured survivor :shock: :shock: Everything is original including the paint. It shines like it's new. A hot rod guy in Alabama took it in on trade and had NO idea what it was.. He just threw it up on eBay to see what kind of bites he got. I talked him into taking it down and selling it to the Vancil Museum :dance: :dance:

Obviously, I'm not going to bastardize it. I am going to clean it up really good, and put a narrowed beam under it with some wheels. I'll probably put another style steering wheel in it. That one is pretty ugly.. That's about it :thumbs: :thumbs: I'm thinking I could keep it 4 Lug and just throw some Gas Burners or Cosmics on it?? Thoughts?? I'll keep all the stock stuff so I can put it back to stock some day if needed.

Leave it alone. It's too original and super low miles.

I like this a lot, the car is from a town very close from where I'm from :thumbs:

She is too nice for not keep original, but hell with some gas burners would look sick!

I remembered seeing a few of those with the VW Sp2 wheels and steering wheels back in the days.

Very nice find. Have you done anything to her?
