I'm pretty sure it's not going anywhere... maybe I'll just fucking ask the guy.

No Buick Skylark? The list is flawed.

I think it'd be good to hone up on my automechanical skills and maybe make some sort of Mad Max vehicle out of it...

They should have included the 1981 Cadillac Seville. It was available with three very exciting engine choices- the unreliable and underpowered V8-6-4, the unreliable, underpowered, and noisy Olds 5.7 Diesel, and the brand new, next-generation, unreliable and underpowered "4100" V8! As a bonus, it was fugly.

And I've said it a million times on CF, but i don't think i've said it here yet- when I was shopping small cars in 2001, I bought a Neon- it had far more features for the money than the Civic, and felt like a luxury car next to the Sentra. Except for recurring problems with the sunroof (shouldn't have let the stealership talk us into taking a sunroof car), it did just fine for 80k until it got caught in a flooded street. We'd probably still have it otherwise.

A 4.1 litre pushrod V8.......now there's a winner
2-barrel carb I'm guessing?

Worse, it was a fuellie
An aluminum block with iron heads... only GM.

I happen to be a fan of neons they happen to have a great history as club racers and still have much motorsports potential.

Was it the one they sold off to Rover and Triumph?

No...the HT-4100 was crap Cadillac design from late 70's early 80's.

The engine Rover nabbed was from Buick circa early 60's (that one was all aluminum...block and heads)
