Wonder what's under the hood of that Bobcat.  5-lug wheels indicate there have been some modifications.

 

I believe she said a 6cyl,but I forgot what size however.

You could get a 2.8 V6 in those but I was wondering if it is a V8 swap because of the 5-lug spindles/axles.

Yes.  Pretty cool.

I have had a couple of Pintos in the fleet.  A red 76 Runabout and a white 73 wagon with a 2300 swap.  The wagon looked like a half-size version of my 72 Montego Villager.  Same colors inside and out.

A black 1960 Ford F-100 pickup.  Unrestored with lots of "patina."  It pulled up beside me today as I was leaving the local "Convenience Center" (a/k/a the garbage dump).

I think that is a 1980.  Even back in the day you rarely seen a Bobcat.

Bricklin.

I've heard most of them seemed a little under powered. 

Not this one.

Actually saw it at Goodguys Southwest Nationals over the weekend. My pictures wouldn't maintain, but I found these online; same car.

See the source image

I don't think it's underpowered.

FYI - It has AZ plates now.

The first day out of having covid< my wife and I were in the Taco Bell drive through and I saw the greatest sticker ever. It was on a Mini and it said  "15 clown capacity". After being sick for 18 days it was what we needed' something total stupid that made us laugh. Gary

Owner lives in Tucson; drove it to Scottsdale (about 125-150 miles). Said he streets it fairly regularly.  

Has a Gaerte Engine. I didn't hear what the displacement was. 

It sounded severe but well-mannered.
