V8 Powered Yugo
Not mine, but who could resist this package. It could be anybody's new ride, but who is brave enough to buy it?

Looks like it needs a lot of sorting. Big flat spot in the carb, timing is off which causes the hard start, wheels sticking out looks lame, engine leaning to the right, noise, fumes, heat and danger of an open engine sitting right behind you etc, etc.

I'm surprised the car survived long enough to undergo the extensive surgery

Thanks for sharing your experience with Yugos, I got a good laugh out of it. You didn't happen to get a Citation for the trade, did you?

 Thank God, no. I actually got a slightly used Chevy Nova which, in the mid 80s, were Toyota Corollas with Nova badging. Good little second car.

PalmerGA: Used to have a customer with one of those Chevy Nova's, he drove that thing into the ground.

"This would be a cheap way to get into the drag race or drag strip scene."
