Me and the old mopar mechanic from up here started talking about the 72/73 colts, we both decided if we had and unlimited 4cyl circle track class a pumped up 2.6 would murder anything put up against it.

And the 73 colts look like shrunken american muscle, not bad for some good ol timey Japanese engineering :lol:

provided the one you find isnt rotted to death like all the old 70s mitsu/chrysler cars ive seen in my life, which is few i might add. results may vary with location.
im sure i remember seeing an article about a 73 or 75 colt used as a drag car from some chrysler team with a hemi in it back in the day.

What do you plan on doing with it Mike? Keep it factory stock or put some zoom zoom in it (turbo). I bet it would be like driving a go cart.How is the handling on one of these or are there parts out there to upgrade? Just curious.

Nice.So a sleeper of sorts.By the look of it,those cars can't weigh much.Sounds like a fun ride! :auto-layrubber:

Can you share one of those Colts with me? I am really interested in finding a 71-73 Dodge Colt GT
