He thinks that those of us into older stuff are a dying breed and younger guys for the most part are into the newer FWD cars, and that the price of gas isn't helping. I agreed to a point, then started thinking about what I would build if I was looking for something old but still RWD and gets good enough mileage I could drive it all the time. My thinking was (since I am an Olds guy) 61-63 F-85/Cutlass, add a Quad4 most likely with a turbo and 5 speed. You'd have 4 cyl economy with some power in a car that weighs about as much as a Calais/grand Am and would be RWD so you'd get better traction. Olds did set some speed records with the Aerotech with the Quad4 and it owned Showroom stock racing in the early 90's. So there's at least a little racing cred And the Jetfire version of the F-85/Cutlass back then was among the first production Turbo cars.
Anyone else ever think anything along those lines, small compact 60's car with a turbo 4 from the 80's-90's?
