Well heres an early import you guys probably have never heard of. To tell you the truth I didn't either until november of last year when i bought this thing. Its called a Saab Sonett. It looks like a Datsun 240 or 260. The car is all fiberglass weighing in at about 1800lbs. Now since its so light it only needs a Ford Taunus V4 to get it to move. To tel lyou the truth it does the job, Speedo reads 120 and thats as fast as the thing will go, not bad for 64hp. Overall dimesnions are 46.5 inches tall, 169 inches long and about 60 inches wide. Since the car is fiberglass the whole care is about 5 pieces of body/chassis: The front end, the 2 doors, the rear body section and the chassis itself is one piece). The car also features pop-up headlights, am-fm radio, an 8 track, FWD, 4 speed(needs a 5th for highway badly) and several other cool little items(seat belts especially). well enough talk heres a couple pics of the thing since I can't figure out readers rides.
the pics are 1024x768






EDIT: I forgot to mention the car is all original down to the stickers on the air cleaner.
