Not all vehicles are primarily based on that criteria.
Nope...just the relevant ones
. Sorry, just funnin'. But seriously, none of those wedgies would be able to get out of my driveway...in summer.
I've seen a few of those back in the day.
Not as tricked out as that one, though.
i had the mk3 2.0 GL like this same colour but a straight 4 though not the v6I had this very one
I had a couple of these in the early 2000's, when they were easy to find and sub-$1000.
Still made and sold around the world today, the 1980's Toyota vans stopped being sold in the USA in 1989 due to muh safety concerns.
My vans were both 4WD, and they all had 4cycle engines that were the same engine used in Toyota forklifts. Contrary to popular opinion, the under-seat engine was easy to do most work on. To this day they are a legendarily "bomb-proof" engine.
It was also the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven for long trips. The 4WDs topped out around 25mpg, and the 2WD vans could get 30+ and could be found with double sunroofs, dual-zone A/C, and could fit a full sheet of plywood.
Good times.

Looks like a Small Block Chevy with double hump fuelie heads..... which are either 461 or 462 castings. Note the lack of accessory holes on the end of the heads.

I drove a 2WD one for work. The thing was beat up but never had any problems.
That's the perfect interior, in my opinion. Looks so fresh, it could be retro.
Looks like Sara Norris. She and her husband have a Euro car & travel blog:

Well... I'm assuming you would be interested in the car.

I thought you said that because probably you knew something about the performance or even something like downdraft vs sidedraft etc.
I have heard that too, but I am almost sure it's an exaggerated statement from people that never really understood how carbs work. For sure it's not for everybody but if you own a car with Webers mounted on the motor, you either know few things about them or you have enough money to leave an expert do it for you. I am not an expert in Webers but I am in Keihin FCRs that have similar or even worse reputation. However dual quads is not a bad idea either, probably the biggest limitation would be the space under the bonnet for this type of car.
