Yeah - I’m prepared for that. I had a friend who had a GS back in the day, and it notoriously ran sometimes. Overall it spent more time running than it did broken down, but it was close.

But the other thing that struck me about it, and still does, is I think it’s one of the most distinctive and attractive auto designs ever. Just something about those curves and that stance appeals to me in a way that no other car ever has.

And while part of the reason I’d want a stock one is that people notoriously bolted crappy parts to them, most of it is that I’d actually want it mechanically rebuilt pretty much from bumper to bumper. If I could find one that’s had all of that done, and done well, that’d be fine too, but I’d rather have it done exactly the way I want it. And either way, I want the body to be completely stock.
