I wonder how hard it would be to swap the back glass to the aero coupe style?
Fyi, the 6.2 diesel is a fairly easy swap (bolts in, but normal diesel conversion stuff like brakes, tank...). |
So are the Pontiac Parisienne and Cadillac Coupe De Ville models what you're referring to?
Here's a photo of a 1986 Pontiac Parisienne with wheel skirts:
Maybe I can find some in decent shape in a junkyard.
And, What's involved in putting an aerodynamic glass on the back end? I'm aware the trunk will need to be shortened in such a modification.
As for the Diesel, Just for reference I realize you're talking about another motor and not the 5.7 that some of these G.M cars came with. An engine swap is definitely a possibility, But for now I'll use the stock motor. The car is close to 110k miles as is, I think I'd be able to get 23+ HWY if I stuck the right Diesel motor in though. And, I'm probably not going to tow anything with this car and it doesn't have a stock hitch.
