I looked at Wikipedia and they seem to say that it was only available as a 4 door.

38hp from 0-60 in a blazing (smoldering) 32 seconds! That will give your 40hp Type 2 a run for it's money!

Take a trip to Wyoming and Im sure you could have these 2 for cheap. They were right around the corner from where I lived, there was also a '63 'vert and a '69 deluxe bus, but my friends have those now Wink

that car is in the seattle area...  i like how he welded in the rear subframe to th dalphine's pan.  that stance is perfect... i just wish franklin could have run a hidden turbo set on it for the psuedo-sleeper/prostreet look.

I agree. The car would look better from behind if the motor was hidden within some type of decklid.

It is kinda cool that a car halfway around the world has an old San Mateo Dave Rasmussen plate frame and black CA plate. I live in san mateo, ca and dave rasmussen was a dealership that no longer exists.
