I have a 69 Datsun 2000 that has been a PITA. It's cool, fast (well, for what it is lol) but parts are expensive and no one around me wants to work on them. So the search started for something unique, fun, pretty well sorted, and could also be worked on locally and with reasonable part costs. My price point was 20k. I looked at everything from JDM Honda Beats to a 49 Lead Sled Ford. I never new about the whole Brasil VW connection and then I found this; a very well sorted and original imported 79 Puma GTS. It's way slower than the Datsun, but is a fun ride.
