- I just re-read the article. They purchased a 1990 Wagon, and I don't have
- permission to quote the article but the jist of it is:
-
- They plan to find a '93 SHO rollover with a 3.2 liter engine and auto
- tranny, and then transplant the powertrain into the wagon.
-
- I don't know, maybe at $35 per member per year they can afford the
- engineering. i think they are fairly tight with SVO since a column
- is written by SVO engineers every newsletter, so maybe they have some
- advice from them?
-
- BTW they say they put a set of '89 SHO wheels on it with V-rated tires.
-
- Beats me.
