Unfortunately just this past Wednesday (Oct 10th 07) while i was driving with my 1 year old daughter, it caught fire and combusted!!
Oh no!

I've heard of a Pony doing this, although I thought it questionable...

Here's my 1987 CXL (Auto booooo!) I got it for free, but it needed some $800 in repairs (largely done myself)





4G63 SOHC at it's finest! 125,000 K on it in that pic



That's it in NYC (well LI) when I drove down 2 weeks ago. Solid cruiser, but I get SHIT gas mileage (like, 22-25 MPG), way less than my other Pony's (I have a 1986 Red 1400GL w/68,000K, a blue partially modded 1400L (unknown miles), and a 1984 1600GLS fitted with this above pictured engine. That will will receive a 2.4L (4G64) DOHC engine, fed by 2 webers - 200 HP? I think so! now to build it... Also it bolts RIGHT in, just as the 4G63 did.
