It had some sort of hot SBC in it, I don't remember the specs though. It wasn't too wild cause Grandma didn't want to ride in something loud or without a/c. It felt pretty damn quick for an 11 year old boy riding shotgun though. Its funny because he got more speeding tickets in that truck after he retired than he had ever gotten.

DO you have the european suspension package on that one? it looks like the ones that were made to sell in Ireland or brittain, the american ones came with what looks like a truck suspension.

Looks sick dude I was talking to a guy who has one that he bought in Ireland brand new in 1984, the car has 4900 original miles and is clean, another guy just bought one with 110k ish for 6 grand.
