Got the flu and bronchitis, so medded out and having 80s flashbacks...looking at 80s Turbo Dodges on E bay....trying to grow my mullet back...dug out my copies of Autobuff [remember that mag? Nude chicks and hot rods!]...looking for episodes of "Hardcastle and McCormick" on TV....*ZONE OUT!!!*
'86 was the best year daytona (looked like 3rd gens w/those headlight buckets)..and everytime i watch 'the wraith' w/charlie sheen i always dug that daytona from the opening scene. Since you have time to kill, you may be interested in my other choices of random 80's cars to look up including::
omni glh
shelby charger from the 80s (fwd shtboxes but they were cool in their own right)
amc eagle station wagon (the original subaru outback!)
Chrysler conquest/mitsu starion
Shelby convertible dakota
shoebox caprices from the 80s
Cj7's w/the 'denim' interior option..
Original full size cherokee's pre-84
TV episodes: A-team (98 episodes and never saw anyone get shot/airwolf/different strokes/alf....and call me crazy but when i was little i always had a thing for the chick from 'small wonder'
My father had an 88 Mitsubishi Starion. A 4cyl turbo that I used to learn to drive manual. I liked the car because it was narrow and nimble.
Back in high school the Mustang LX was all the rage given its lighter weight without the hatch.
Ah the 80's... listened to Tears for Fears earlier today.

I USED TO HAVE an 85 Camaro 305 4bbl, 90 Firebird V6, 97 Firebird V6 (10 speakers!). Despite the two family vehicles, 3 kids, wife and mortgage, I can finally realize the dream - 88 TA almost all stock... for now.
An svo turbo 4 banger, haha. I saw one blow a head gasket behind me outside of richmond VA years back. He must have been racing someone... oh and I had my old caddy STS then.
I met my current roommate and best friend in 1998 because we were gonna trade cars. His 89 shelby daytona for my 84 z28. He sold it though and just bought my z28 which I ended up buying back a few weeks later and resold. We've been friends since.
Hah too funny .. My best friend in HS had a 87 Daytona Shelby turbo 5 speed White t-tops with the tan pleather. and my older brother had the 83 Shelby Charger 2.2 no turbo 5spd. Me I had an 80 AMC Spirit lol
Some of the most under appreciated cars come from the 80s. one of my fav happens to be a thunderbird supercoupe. 3.8 supercharged, irs, 5 speed and a big ass moonroof made for some good times out in cali
*thats not mine, mine was white, but the anniversary paint scheme and wheels are too amazing to not link

I had an '87 Shadow Turbo almost like this BITD! I bought it after I got my license in early '91. It had ridiculous torque steer and sounded like it would blow up on the highway because of that crapass 3-speed automagic trans. I wish I had one with a 5-speed, it woulda been a lot more fun!
I sold it after about 6 months and bought my '85 Monte SS. It was the first of several that I would own over the next 20 years.
