A couple field finds

whats77inaname · 05-09-2015, 03:47 PM

My friend and I went out to grab some parts from a Trooper from a gentleman we met on the internet. Turns out the guy has 9 acres and a bunch of cars, two of which intrigued me enough where I'm contemplating purchasing them.

First one is a classic Honda CVCC 600, around early '70s. It looks clean enough where I'd consider a resto-mod, including removing the shag carpet *lol*. K20 swap might be in order.

Next is something that I've never heard of before, a Czech truck called an Aro. A little quick research shows that it uses a Jeep 4.0 engine.

According the the guy, it has some electrical issues, but that doesn't scare me too much.

Decisions, decisions.

Those old Civics rusted even when new; rule was never even salt your French fries in the car... I'd look over the unibody real good.

Did he have any Pintos?

Sorry to wake up an old post. By any chance do you still have any information or whereabouts of that ARO?

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
