Arne Posted January 7, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2010 Yup, I've seen that car. As Bruce noted, it's a 1200 (Sunny). Watch how the thing leaps off the line...

owenk Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted January 7, 2010 Rob,I live in the Granite Bay area off Auburn-Folsom Road.

But at my home the electricity is carbon free, check out my power plant Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/34328-maybe-this-would-be-fun-to-do-to-a-z/#findComment-305411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
