Can't look at these without thinking of Jesse Pinkman.

Funny thing is, in The pic I posted, the red one in the middle has a plate that says PINKMAN

Are they though? Looks like they go for ~4k on bring a trailer.

I decided to pass on it. Went to sleep with nightmares of a rusty seized engine from sitting so long.

That sounds about right, from what I have seen. I agree with trying to save it, or at least forward it on to the Radwood community, since they are pretty rare now.

Oh, goodness. Rear axle, you say? I'd be so tempted to pull the engine & trans and replace them with a small V8 and a matching RWD transmission, then surprise people by doing burnouts all over town.

But maybe I have a problem.

3S-GTE swap from a ST215 Caldina, it's asking for it

OP lives in CA and this is not gonna get past CA smog test inspection 🤪

Good idea though for someone living in another state...

What V8 do you think would fit in a Tercel? Buick 215/Rover?

Honestly? It's probably a more interesting car than some of your other ones, so I'd be pretty tempted to pick it up (since you said you were going to pass) and get rid of something else. Perhaps two something elses.

Personally, I'd go for something like a supercharged 2zz instead of a v8. More fitting of the character and probably a lot easier to make work.

That is the general plan for the fox. But replace v8 burble with turbo whistle.

That is another concern entirely.

3sge may work, hood height is a concern.

If the wheels are no longer welded to the hubs when I get home, I may take it still, just to move it to a enthusiast. Probably get the craziest looks at dmv, registering 3 80s cars at once.

The Ford Windsor 302 is very compact... so how about that one? I'm thinking you can make it fit where an inline four once lived.

2zz-ge or 4age swap would be sweet. These are neat little cars, though ugly as sin. would make a decent beater in stock form if you can get it running though.
