I remember these .

In the late 1980's there was a brief surge of interest in them and I was finding them in junkyards for a friend who would add body stiffening rails then cut the tops off and modify FIAT rag tops to suit, then ship them to Germany where they got amazing $ .

IIRC the original engine was small, only 1700 CC's .

At the time of conversions you could buy brandy new 2 liter crate engines from Opel in Germany....

Fun cars, I remember when new yanking the headlight lever with all my might to make them pop up .
