Cool, looks like it's in real good shape. And convertible too!
OK, there must be some story or history around your interest in this vehicle - given that it going on a container to be shipped to you. Come on, tell all! :DQuote:

2.5 diesel putting out 70 -80 HP - should have some good low end torque .... but I suspect Oleg won't be doing any rock crawling in this baby!Quote:

A while back I was slipping and sliding over a pass east of Seattle in a snowstorm. Cars were pulled over to the side putting chains on just a half mile from the summit. Felt pretty smug making it through the slush with AWD when we passed an old guy with a handlebar mustache wearing an old wool Navy P-coat, riding a Ural with a side car. He was slipping and sliding along in low gear, bumping over the slushy tire ruts wet as a dog, but he made it.
lol I see.Quote:
