Successful 2+ hour roadtrip
Great feeling to make it on a long cruise at 4k+ rpm for over 2 hours.

I thought my BMW was pretty sorted after a two hour trip, then I had to pull the locked thermostat at a rest stop about four hours into a 3000 miler

What kinda money do these fetch over there? Always been tempted to get one and prices are starting to rise in the uk now for a good example

I paid $3k for this. Needed work but is a pretty solid car.

Similar prices to here then, that said there's probably a lot more rust free or less rusty examples than there is here! Wanted one since I drove a a v8 one years ago, was a lot of fun!

Only a little surface rust on this one. Just a dent at the tail light is the only thing really wrong with the body.

Nothing too involved then, do wish they were like that here, but anying 30+ years is generally rotten! Would make a good sleeper, any plans for an engine swap?

I have a basket case roadster that has a K20. It'll be swapped over to this car eventually.

Sounds like a good combination, I bet it's more fun than the v8's the stuffed in them here (not sure if they sold them in the us). Definitely lighter and more revy!

They're definitely swapped in. K is the way.
