Needs to ahve that boxy baby yank tank look though. MK1 grannies are too curvy, and Senators too Euro.

Needs a 440 motor that will run good on regular gas and no cigarette lighter.

In that case a 3.3L Ventora would indeed be ideal.

The problem will be the cop shocks and cop tires.....

IIRC it had a cigarette lighter just needed fixing.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com, Geoff wrote something quite bizarre, possibly in an effort to confuddle the world. It went like so;

Jake through the cigarette lighter out of the window when he said "Fix the cigarette lighter"

You could argue he threw half the lighter out.......

With good pick-up...
