my buddy had the B210's slightly bigger, faster, better looking cousin, a '76 610 hatchback in high school. had the 2.0l 4 boinger, and fully independent suspension. was a lot of fun taking it on rally runs up in capitol forest and driving through tank traps on ft. lewis land before it'd get you arrested or shot following 9/11.

it did have it's share of problems...he wasn't much of a mechanic, and there was more than 1 time that the improperly preloaded(by him) wheel bearings let go and sent a wheel flying off the road. also had a lot of loose wires and a 2500RPM idle.
