For when you ABSOLUTELY cannot decide between a Galant, and a Geo Metro.

I can’t be the only one who sees this.

One of these was on my area CL recently. I wanted it bad. It sold within an hour of going live though.

Best of both worlds.

It has a Lancer front end:

EDIT: Just noticed it’s a Colt, so it is basically a 3 door Lancer...

Totally is.

Now does a 4G63 fit in there?

If it doesn’t, I know exactly what to do.

When I saw the notification the A-Team theme started playing in my head.

I totally hooned one to death back in the '80s... the fun we had, the adrenaline we shared, the oil we bled, we were like brothers.

full disclosure - not my car, but approximately the condition I finally sold it in...

- front bumper missing

- passenger fender crumpled

- passenger headlight dangling

- clutch burned out

- exhaust dragging

- head gasket blown

- hood wrinkled like a waffle cone

- alloy rims with low profile bald tires

- working (factory) radio and read defroster

Good times, little colt, good times!

We had a customer who wanted to get rid of his. It was parked in his back yard for a few years, he would start it now and then to keep it alive. The clutch was badly worn and the engine was tired, but it was still capable of driving, which was somewhat amazing.
Instead of pulling it onto the trailer, I decided to drive it home, so it can shine one last time. My father was following me with the trailer.
Every time I would push the gas pedal a bit too hard, the clutch would slip, and the engine would get a sip of coolant. My dad told me he could follow me by the trail of smoke I left behind. It was glorious.
Even though it was destroyed by the time I got home (15 minutes) it was a pretty decent drive, the best cars are those you don’t care about.

1989 Hyundai Sontana is also a cheaper Galant underneath, so that’s your second option.

My dad had a black 88 or 89 Mirage turbo back when I was a kid. That’s the car that helped get me interested in cars. It was a GTI killer in its day, but unfortunately the reliability wasn’t there. Although, he never had any issues with his other than the AC going out after like 10 years.
