Mine wasn't a GTP, but this is the best ad they had for the car.

Love how they put the Aerostar next to the space shuttle in the ad. Ya those two things are alike.

This was also mine- a 1992 Saab 900S sedan. Mine was red over tan leather with a manual transmission and 2.1l non-turbo.

Here's the television advertisement for it:

1981 Ford F-100 Ranger. Christmas '92 was a good one! Nothing quite like opening a present, finding keys inside, and sprinting outside to see your first ride idling in the driveway

(I'll cheat and follow up with both my 2nd and 3rd cars. Because I actually found an ad for the Sport Coupe, not the Z.)

2nd was a red one, and when I moved to New Orleans with no factory AC it was traded for another 1984 white one, with AC.

Mine was an '86. It was easy to find in the high school parking lot in 2002.

Mine was exactly like the bottom most pictured, even the same attractive shade of blue.

I picked it up for $500 in 1996 and drove it for a year or two while in high school before moving to a 280zx turbo... I could get over 45mpg with careful highway use and the rear seat was, surprisingly, large enough for all the things a teenager needs it for

I have the original window sticker for my 86

the rear seat option was 500 dollars, out the door price for the SE in 86 on my car with all the options was 17050. Almost identical to what I paid for my mazda 2 out the door...
