My buddy in high school had a Checker cab his dad bought at a charity
auction for $500. It had been cleaned up and painted baby blue. He
gave everyone rides home in it, could get at least 8 or 10 kids in there
with the jump seats that folded down in the back. He drove it for a
coupla years then his sister got it and drove it through HS, I think it
finally just died and they got a new Toyota Celica, the first one. The
guy had told his dad it was "sporty" and could be driven hard. It was
new one summer when he came home from college, he thrashed the hell out
of the thing, being as it was "sporty" but it pretty much held up for a
few years.

A twin turbo 1000hp 6bt with a triple overdrive for ridiculous low rpm
highway cruising and 50mpg or better is what I had in mind......lol
Would be near bulletproof, hot enough to smoke near anything off the line,
efficient, etc........

Argh! I love Checkers. Haven't seen one in years. I'd like to
get a nice well-preserved one and do nothing to it except
replacing the engine with a crate small-block, then use it as a
daily driver.
I'd put an OM617 turbo in it. _That_ would be special - and slow.
So maybe a 4BT - but that would be rough.
Ahh. A 6BT - that's what a Checker needs!
