Behind the Civic plow truck is a rather saveable looking old Chevy van and apparently a Silver Fiero...a silver lining in every cloud. Seriously, go for the Camino. Nothing else your looking at scratches an itch that isn't already being scratched, if you know what I mean. Don't let it be like high school, where you avoid the girl you like and who likes you...only to find out she's dating some other guy.

So finish the mother truck, get the 64, and crap can your other long term projects. Cars will run on electric, hydrogen, and Red bull by the time that Jag goes on the road again....

Why are you avoiding the 64? Much higher value, IMHO done than your other projects...and would be far cooler. You ought to go buy THAT and save it from getting a big block and wheel tubs, or being turned into a race car, or sitting in someone else s barn for the next twenty years.

Agree with blu on the subie thing...although Saabs always had nice interiors, subies not so much.

VW has a lot of the funkiness of SAAB without a lot of the blandness or headaches of the last several generations of SAAB products. I would rather have a CC than any of the later SAAB stuff..... One thing is for sure...SAAB ain't comin' back....which is sad, really. Before GM took them over, the 900 Turbo was a great car. Heck, I still lust after those, and they have been out of production for a long time. Had some of the uniquye SAAB DNA been able to be kept alive....I may well have one in the driveway now. And as much as I would cross the Pacific in a leaky rowboat with one oar to give CSPEC a hard time....Dammit man...I miss SAAB!

What happened to the 64 Camino?
-
Oddly enough, my wife didn't want to test drive as she didn't like the styling....
-
Sounds like your a gonner, sir... And I like this car a whole lot better than the Vette project, which I loved. Good luck in getting it, and getting it home! ...although it sounds like you'll be eating ramen noodles and selling plasma to get both the 64 and the Mothertruck finished and painted...
-
Good luck, I think it's unique enough and uncommon enough as a 64 that it's worth a try. I like all of the color ideas so far, agreed on bringing out the body lines.

Happy Birthday, Z06!

Pathetic 4 banger doesn't do to bad on acceleration, but the car has no appeal to me whatsoever.
-
Agreed, and it's gonna need cash dumped in. but hell, even I'm tempted by this thing and I live eight hours away. Me either....

...and yen rate is going to kill a lot of Aian cars from coming here. And not to get political, but either party is pretty much going to continue printing money like a drunken sailor if elected, so the yen thing will stay the same.

This and the new Malibu...pretty much shades of the Old GM....
-
Sprint would be my second choice, I think...

Congrats!

It's a neat little car, but seriously let down by the interior quality. I used to run around with a girl before I stated dating my wife, back in the bad old days of the 1980's. Her father loved the new Chryco stuff of 1984-1985. Forget which forgettable 80's Chryco product he ended up with. Every time I get into a Dart, I'm pulled back to being 18 years old and riding in an 80's Mopar product. And not in a good way. It's better than the Caliber, but so is a 400,000 mile Crown Vic Taxi that Lindsay Lohan has just Vomited in.... Nice looking car....but I see a Focus ST in my future, or a GTI, or an FR-S/BR-Z, ....or the next gen Miata. Not the Dart. Not at 23K esp...with that interior quality.

Suzuki seriously needs to think of itself as the largest marketer of specialty vehicles rather than the smallest mainstream car maker. Build on the motorcycle heritage, and then get unique dealer look and feel, something along the lines of Fiat or Smart- The Swift is a neat little car, but I don't even think its sold here in the states.
-
Mine also.

Probably....
