Obviously it needs an LS motor

Yuck, hateful looking thing I reckon, from that period in car design where basically car designers just didnt bother

Surprised you like that as most of the time I think you have great taste in cars.

Amazing condition though, certainly a piece of history one way or the other!

I like it but then I wouldn't want either of the cars in your sig, petrolheads don't all like the same stuff! I'm just glad I don't like really early cars with mudguards!

Cool car. I sold my Merc 560SEC to a guy with an impressive collection of De Tomaso's. Will stick up a few photos when I've got chance.

I spotted the price tag and closed the ebay page down, well out of my reach for now.

Nice looking car but if I was spending that type of coin on a classic then I would get a Jenson Interceptor

I love 70s 'supercars'. They'd probably be rubbish and would have their asses handed to them if they went up against a well driven modern diesel hire car, but who cares when they can look like this...
