Thinking about it, the P50 is plushie material. Shame it wouldn't get the hype of Twingo though.

But that makes me wonder.

Would a Twingo engine be good for swap on a Trabbi?

why? they aren't illegal in the US

>>16458409
Probably not even present that much in US anyway.

Probably you'd get fucked at NOx/CO2 emissions eitherway depending where you live, unless you do an engy swap.

>>16458385
do a full drivetrain and engine swap with a subaru justy.

trabi was my dream car when i was young
maybe i will get one someday with 1.1 engine from vw polo, those should be driveable

>>16458409
the only ones i've seen are collector pieces that boomers want 10k for. i like the car, but not that much. show me where i can get one imported for less than 3k.

commie cars are legal in the US, they're just relatively expensive if you want pristine examples

this site regularly sells imported Ladas and shit but they usually go for $7k - $20k
http://www.alphacars.com/web/inventory?section_id=1137

I've seen Trabants on eBay for $3k or so, and Ladas for $10k

>tfw I chickened out of getting a silver Lada that was only 100 miles away

No but border control did have some they tried to use as "jeeps"
It didn't work very well.
>>16459307
That particular model is very rare though, sadly. under 500 exist.

more like 15k.

the boomer tax is stupid now. its literally cheaper to import one yourself.
