My Dad picked up a new toy

Just thought I would share my Dads new toy. He picked up a 1984 Rampage "Prospector" 5spd for $1500. Damn thing has less than 80,000 miles on it! Got some hail damage on the hood and a little on the roof. Old original brown paint cleaned up nice too. Rebuilt the carb cause it ran pretty bad at idle but screamed up top. Still ran like crap! So he ditched the Holley opted for the Weber kit for it. Now it runs pretty good for a 4 banger. Keeps up with my 98 2dr Highline except in the corners lol. Come on, did you think a 1/2 ton pickup would keep up with a nimble Neon lol...

Trying to talk him into the SRT4 swap! He wants to keep it close to original??
