Not sure it if runs or not, but it has minimal rust and the interior isn't bad either. If I only had space for a project car... Here's a couple more pics.

I wonder what one of these would be like with a modern STi or equivalent drivetrain in it.

Someone needs to find out.

Needs Hemi and rally tires.

This would have come with an AMC Straight 6, so the closest to a modern performance engine without significantly changing the character of the car would be a 1JZ, a 2JZ or a BMW straight 6.

Or a Ford straight six, either from a Falcoln or the 300 from a truck.

There are a few crazies that make kits to swap an AMC 360 into these and keep the awd. The front diff is hung off the engine block so swaps tend to be difficult.
