comments
You know it’s bad when the seller includes “death trap” in their listing title on eBay. This TR6 is rocking a 400 smallblock, 2-speed Powerglide and not much else. The top is shot, the windshield is some kind of cruel joke (the original’s in a box) and…well, it’s all about as bad as you’d fear.…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpuweiODHw4[/youtube] As its name implies, the Iron Curtain didn’t let much stuff into Eastern Europe during the Cold War, and it didn’t let much out.
