Silly idea or interesting concept?

Lately I've been wanting to buy an older car, specifically something from my birth year. I just think it would be neat to have something from 1975 to drive around in.
Only problem is the only thing that was nice that was built in 1975 was me. :shrug: Well, a quick search on eBay here and there yielded this.
What do you think Allen? Can I get this registered in the States? Or should I be looking for a Sprite or Mini? :laugh:

What are some examples of neat cars from the year you were born?

I wonder what kind of engine swaps I can do on that...

 

[LUCA]

I wonder what aftermarket wheels will fit?

My guess, not much.

Do you know how much they'd weigh?!!? Chrome is WAY too heavy. Make 'em gold. Gold 12" Daytons. :drool: :crazy:
