What the heck is this? Looks like a car from the 80s with an engine from the 50s? 

 

Pretty much spot on.

 

Car is a Holden VK Commodore (1984-85) with a 202 ci straight six engine which was the latter development of what was previously the 149 ci "grey motor" straight six engine used in Holdens from 1948 onwards.

That's wild...   ^_^

 

Here in the states, Jeep did something similar. Even up into the early 90s they were using engines designed in the 60s...

 

Of course, so did Land Rover...   :rofl:

That and the fuel economy.....and people bitching that it's too loud or not smooth enough...

They could have updated to pass emissions, and 22 to 24 mpg with 4.11s and 31 inch tires isn't bad milage. Both of mine are smooth also, an inline 6 is smoother than a V6, that's why the Vs have ballance shafts.
