Best Cheap Sports Car
Well, this is another 1st car thread, and I am looking for something that will just climb trees. I want a unique 4wd that has huge aftermarket. Here are my current considerations:
Rare 80's 'yota pickups that I could kit out. Landcruiser FJ's ( the Wrangler/Cj-5/Cj-7 body styled kind), or Landcruiser truck. Old Willy's 4wd trucks. Int'l Scout truck. Any 4wd's that you personally know off-road exellent, please inform me. I allready have my fuel miser Civic 1.6 L 8V, which has been an exellent car to get me back and forth to school,practice shifting, and I would advise anyone to also choose this as a 1st, but I live in the country, and I am eager to go out and have some weekend fun with my fellow wheelers. |

Re: Best Cheap Sports Car
I think your best chance of getting something cheap will be a Samurai. They are low on power but have a pretty good transfer case and great aftermarket support. You can buy these things with 100k miles for usually under $1000 on ebay.
Otherwise, jeeps are great 4x4s but a little pricey to buy. Others like you mentioned are pricey to buy and parts are more expensive. Not prohibitively so, but your words were "cheap." My word is "Samurai."

Re: Best Cheap Sports Car
I like anything GM '87 and before with a 350. You get a very popular engine, solid front axle, and about as much aftermarket support as you could possibly ask for.
