There was an article in straight 6 news recently about some Senator As with 4wd that were built as specials for cold war duties sneaking around East Germany.

That's about as close as you'll get AFAIK.

Nothing is impossible, but you'd have your work cut out. Why not just buy a Chelsea tractor?   ;)

Everything was perfect, even the missus liked it.

If you really wanted to do it, they made a 4x4 Cavalier . . .

You'd be better off with a 4x4 Granada, at least they're permanant 4 wheel drive with a north/south engine. Cav is based on a FWD car with an east/west engine and is only part time 4 wheel drive!  ;)
