Im looking for something that gets decent milage, fun to drive, just something different. Found a Tin top thats been wrecked and was fixed on the cheap. Hood and fender replaced but not painted also missing all trim pieces and headlight hardware. It has 2 lights mounted on bumper for headlight. Very little rust Price is $650. Also know where there another sami blown motor $350 that I could steal some parts off of and part out the rest getting my money back on that one. Does this sound like a reasonable idea? Do they get decent gas milage? I currently drive a full size chevy so not looking for 35MPG or anything but would like to be in the 20"s though I drive about 75% highway driving at around 55mph
 
anyone know the actual mileage of thse little guys? or have first hand experience onwhat they have been getting?
 
When mine was new, with the itty bitty stock tires, it got 30+.
After about 100,000 miles it was doing 25-27.

With 7 1/2 " of lift, 32" tires, 4.16 t-case and 4.62 r&p's at 220,000 miles it only getting 19 mph.

But dang it's a lot more fun now!
