ITT: cars that are almost completely forgotten

pic related, ford's weird fwd miata

Ferd has made some cute shitboxes

>1500lbs

I had one of those. Literally tin can exterior panel thickness. I stuck some truck speakers in the back and bumped all around the bay area thinking I was the shit. Oh to be young and dumb again.

Pontiac 6000

Is there anything special about this car i should know about?

Its an A-body that GM used to compete with British sports cars. It didn't fly so good.

>Mx3

They thought the best car to try and execute that plan was a transverse FWD/FWD biased AWD midsize sedan platform?

did they hire a bunch of stoners lock them in a room and tell them to shoot an idea?

Volvo 480 Cabriolet

ive actually never heard of this

Buick Reatta

To be fair, the mid-80s 6000s looked pretty nice. Shame they've mostly rusted away.

Looks like a ford probe

Made this for someone here on Veeky Forums a while back

These cars look so distraught

>touch screen CRT

I saw one parked in SF and sperged out to my cold, wet, and underdressed wife's confusion. Shit's so fucking nice inside.

I actually parked next to one of those today. Was the Turbo model and everything.

>op's car
forgotten because the guys who ordered it made were so delusional they believed anyone would want an worst wheel drive miata.
>del sol
forgotten because it came out at exact same time to compete with mr2 and miata but they descided to make it look like midengine but made it worst wheel drive
>prelude
only remembered because everyone who first sees it believes it to be rwd and then discover honda is up to their old shit again.
>ford sierra
used to be huge in 90's now forgotten cause all of them have crashed

that's fucking awesome

urcar

Chevy Nova TwinCam. Badge engineered corolla sedan with a 4age built at the Nummi plant. 1 year only with a 3-4000 car production run iirc.

Similar deal with the Geo Prizm GSi. I've only seen one in my life.

only heard of this because there is on for sale near me.

Isuzu Impulse RS

Been few years since I last saw someone mention one of these

yugo .... i bought one i drove it off the lot and the motor fell out of it ....

yugo .... i bought one i drove it off the lot and the motor fell out of it ..

Achieva SCX C41, specially tuned showroom stock racer that came with ac delete, hand built engine with forged internals, baffled tank, custom ecu, other tweaks and a torsen lsd in the trunk. Just about none sold to the public, but it was available from any olds dealer.

Been there for a few days. Either the mother fucker that owns it is away on a casino trip (The bus stops in that parking lot and drives out there) or he works at the K-Mart/Smart and Final in the evenings.

11th gen Ford ThunderBird

*thunder chicken

Damn that looks nice

that was the pet name for the big hood decal on the 70s-80s firebirds, not tbirds

What is this? Is this different than a normal corolla? We have a shitton of them here

That's the photo I took. Still warms my heart seeing it get posted every so often.

(Even though I can't take credit because I'm anonymous, nor do I want to, but you get the idea.)

These are all top ace.

This is the kind of OC that makes Veeky Forums uniquely great.

I have a "holden" 89 corolla

only has a 4ac tho

It's the same car, just brand engineered to be a Chevy/Geo. The GSI has a 4AGE in it though, the most powerful 4AGE released here other than the 4AGZE if I remember right. Only four door car in the US with one of those in it too.

Fuck, I wish the following generation of the Prizm got the 20 valve 4AGE. Would make my life as an AE86fag in CA easier.

Corolla Seca

Subaru SVX

...

These are great, fun to mod because of how light they are, good potential for motor swaps with the capri in OP as well, B6T turbo motor bolts up and mk1 rabbit coilovers fit with little modification.

IIRC they only made about 50 of these, probably because they made literally everything out of carbon fiber and tried to sell them for £100K

I see way more del sols than I do MR2s. But I also live in an area where RWD is suicide.

Dodge Rampage. Ever want an el camino but worse? The ute for you!

Chrysler J-Body LeBaron coupe. Can be made to put out pretty decent hp with their super agricultural 4 bangers.

You weren't born when those things were still on the lot.

Aerodynamic, t-top having lift back hatch b13 Sentra se-r with bigger brakes and suspension.

had a family friend who sold these new. I guess only about 1 out of every 3 would start with a brand new battery. couple of them were manufactured missing a brake pad or wiring to make the lights work. Rumor was the rear hatch was reinforced because they knew you'd have to push it

el caminos are for queers

also, 1983 plymouth scamp is whats up

I've driven one of these. Kid brought it to our driving school. Vision out the back is non-existant

reminded me of this Italian beauty. available for 2 years, ~7300 made in total

Those just kind of irritate me. How low could Maserati sink that they would put their name on a customized Chrysler? They didn't even make the engine themselves, they just souped the Chrysler tractor motor up a bit with a DOHC valvetrain (I think). Pretty haram if you ask me.

chrysler owned some of maserati at the time. The only thing preventing maserati sinking lower was the floor of thet ocean of despair. they were pretty shit at the time.

I've seen 2 of these. One driven by an old lady, one sitting in a shitty used stealership in the ghetto.

My cousin drives a del sol and preludes are talked about often enough on Veeky Forums that they're not forgotten by the guys here

If you've watched Seinfeld you've heard of a lebaron

It's not like it was cheapening the image of the Biturbo, everyone knew they were junk in that era. Don't forget that both Alfa and Maserati are still putting their badges on Chryslers in 2017

Here's a challenge...no cheating with reverse image search though!

Lotus Elan Musk

nice kia

Dodge Spirit

1st gen Hyundai Scoupe (90-92)
I've only seen one of these ever, and that is probably 10 years+ ago.

2 model years, 18266 units sold according to wikipedia

I occasionally see a faded yellow Scoupe around the town

The hellcat. It's laughable how a car that no one could get two years ago is now dead.

m6

r129s

Action Bronson has one of these and I love him for it

>Action Bronson has an M6
I think you mean he leaned against a 635csi once

you must live in africa if you think either of these is forgotten

lmao

>hey look we put an italian name on this stupid piece of shit we made
>it's luxury!

Jesus fuck

Poormans tercel

Ford Sierras are still plentiful around here. Most have been ruined by ricers though.

Dodge is putting Hellcat production to a halt and the Demon is the new hotness.

First car in this thread ive actually never seen or heard of

I had one. Pic dump to follow.

>But I also live in an area where RWD is suicide
unless you live up on the side of mt everest at altitude where there's always snow and ice and the mountainside roads have no safety barriers you don't live in an area where RWD is suicide.
Grow the fuck up and learn to drive or stick with fwd

There's one of these at the top of my road covered in moss, looks in good shape under the moss though

Asians haven't forgotten

One for sale near me for 800 , its in pretty bad shape but I was so tempted to go see it

Amc eagle

I don't know whether it looks great or ridiculous

Pic related, the happiest man in the world (I assume).

>incorrectly correcting incorrections

You mean screaming chicken?

What kind of camera/phone do u have?

...

The eagle is fucking awesome though

Nice Opel, I see those daily
