It's my dream car. I want it so bad but my shitbox 2.0L MK4 isn't even worth this. No coilover bs, all original everything, goddamn it hurts to even look at it cuz I know I won't have it.

By this do you mean "You're in Wisconsin and are going to die of boredom or alcohol poisoning before they catch you" or "You're in Wisconsin and it's easy to get replacement titles?" Because from the research I've done in the past it seems like a major PITA in this state.

I dunno, my dad and grandpa grew up in west-central Wisconsin and treated cars like they were currency. Hell, dad traded a '67 383 Charger for 3 heifers when he was in high school!

Ha Lady Smith, that thing is going to be rusty as poo poo. I actually think I know where that truck lives, used to see one very similar 5+ years ago in the same area.

I should sic my uncle on that thing, he coaches the high school football up there doncha know.

The $8k game in this neck of the woods is torture; I can't cope with the amount of cool the search found. There's an all-original Olds Rocket 88 that's parked in a barn, a '49 Dodge Coronet Club Coupe, and a '72 Mercury Comet 2-door on just the first page.

It would be a bad idea to trade my car (that I'm not finished paying for) that works for this, right?

I'd want to swap out that engine for something else at some point since those G60 superchargers are guaranteed to fail every 40k.

Buy it! Miss mine so much. Toss a cheap parts store inline fuel pump right before the injector pump wired to switched power and you won't have to worry about the injection pump. I might actually have a rebuilt injection pump laying around that I had bought for mine.

~~My dad has a mk3 mk2 1.6 N/A diesel sitting on the floor of his garage. I'd probably turbo and rebuild that and swap it in cuz~~
Never mind, if I fixed the 1.6 that's in the Caddy it'll still have more power than that one that's sitting on the garage floor.

If my stable weren't hip-deep in VAG, I'd rock a 924/944 all day every day. I'd daily that poo poo and get winter tires and a lift kit. drat, those look awesome.
