The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Since the '70s cars thread was well received, and some '80s cars were mentioned, I figured I'd set up a thread for that.

'81-'83 Chrysler Imperial
'83-'86 Mercury Cougar
'80-'88 AMC Eagle 4WD station wagon
'82-'86 Toyota Celica Supra
'87-'92 Toyota Supra
'88 Pontiac Fiero
'89 Ford Probe

Glad you asked, Sean!

Here's the car my Dad owned just before buying a new '86 Grand National

1982 Chevy Citation X-11 (his was charcoal gray with a maroon interior ;) )
Posted Image

The first new car I ever bought was an '82 Mazda 626 LX (this is an '81 without my aluminum factory rims, but the same color)
Posted Image

Did somebody say '89 Probe? I almost bought a red GT that year (turbo 4 cyl)!

my Citation was tan with a brown roof, hatch back, traded it in on a brand spanking new 86 Taurus wagon. i can't even remember what year it was

Actually, I forgot that the first new car I ever bought - technically - was the '77 Z28 Camaro that I never did take possession of (car was crushed and scrapped :o :angry: :( )

I've heard this story before, but not everyone has. Why don't you share it with the board?

I forgot all about the Taurus sho till Sak mentioned it. I remember someone at my high school had a 1st gen sho and that was a sweet looking ride. That was one of the best casual looking high horsepower output cars ever made. A definite sleeper on the streets.

I was going to suggest the saab! Theres a couple of castings, majorette and del prado IIRC, but a decent 1:64 would be good.
