If you want a cruiser w/ a 5 speed and a diesel you're going to have to import, or buy one that has those already swapped in, or buy a cruiser and swap in the engine and tranny. 80's cruisers in the US came with 6 cylinder carbeurated gas engines and 4 speed manuals (Unless it's 88 or 89, in...

The problem starts here-- my buddy just got a...
