Thanks alot folks I also like 80s cars more than I'd like. Cars after OBD2 don't do it for me. I'd rather have an SVO or xr4ti or some other crazy stupid 80s car than a modern car. God modern cars got ugly, the new subaru/toyota is the best looking car to come out in some time.

After reading about car break ins here and the local police blotter I should start looking for a super-sensitive 80s car alarm which blurts, "step away from the vehicle" if anyone gets too close. Too bad 80s electronics aren't all that great.

Close...it's an '82, '83, or '84. (and if '82 or '83 it has a fiberglass hood from the factory)

And that's a really nice example, by the way. So many have gone to crap.

Alfa Spider - I had this identical car back in the '80's.

MR2 - My '86 was similar, but didn't look this good!

I'm more of an early 90's guy but I did love my 89 colt turbo, 88 integra, and my 85 Mustang.

Chevy wasn't the only one doing cop cars in the 80s ...

Oh and this thread needs more turbo dodge ...

911, E30, and Trans Am are all a must.

1989 Toyota Celica ST is an oddball. Best friend in high school had one of these and it was fun, quick, and bulletproof.
