seeing the SHOgun reminds me of a friend of my brothers back in windsor ct. he had a 70's pinto and he put the motor/transaxle from a toronado in the back. that was a fun car to ride in, a pinto with a 455  :)  i am actually wanting to build myself another fast car, maybe another air cooled vw. i still have the turbo system i built (minus the turbo) for the 65 bug i used to have.

Yep, I remember the ads in the tuner mags for that one, looks fun.

Definite sleeper.

A friend of mine used to have an AWD Galant that had the 3000GT motor in it. It was not a custom job either, it was an optional package for the Galant for a limited production run or something. Now THAT thing was quick...and quick to break halfshafts all the time lol.

My GMC Typhoon is a sleeper unless you know it...most people just think it's a Jimmy with a bodykit. I love sleeper cars/bikes.
