ITT: cars that are almost completely forgotten
pic related, ford's weird fwd miata
>>17188926
Ferd has made some cute shitboxes
>1500lbs
>>17188962
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
>>17189279
Is there anything special about this car i should know about?
>>17189284
Its an A-body that GM used to compete with British sports cars. It didn't fly so good.
>>17188926
>Mx3
>>17189298
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
>>17189623
ive actually never heard of this
Buick Reatta
>>17189349
To be fair, the mid-80s 6000s looked pretty nice. Shame they've mostly rusted away.
>>17190097
Looks like a ford probe
>>17190097
Made this for someone here on /o/ a while back
These cars look so distraught
>>17190097
>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.
>>17188926
I actually parked next to one of those today. Was the Turbo model and everything.
>>17188926
>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
>>17190336
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.
>>17190449
Similar deal with the Geo Prizm GSi. I've only seen one in my life.
>>17190097
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.
>>17190427
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
>>17190642
*thunder chicken
>>17190097
Damn that looks nice
>>17190701
that was the pet name for the big hood decal on the 70s-80s firebirds, not tbirds
>>17190461
What is this? Is this different than a normal corolla? We have a shitton of them here
>>17190182
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.)
>>17188926
>>17189623
>>17190097
>>17190461
>>17190497
These are all top ace.
>>17190336
>>17190612
This is the kind of OC that makes /o/ uniquely great.
>>17190461
>>17190449
I have a "holden" 89 corolla
only has a 4ac tho
>>17190716
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.
>>17190716
Corolla Seca
Subaru SVX
>>17188926
>>17188962
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.
>>17190507
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
>>17190349
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.
>>17190526
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.
>>17190526
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
>>17191565
el caminos are for queers
also, 1983 plymouth scamp is whats up
>>17191309
I've driven one of these. Kid brought it to our driving school. Vision out the back is non-existant
>>17191625
reminded me of this Italian beauty. available for 2 years, ~7300 made in total
>>17192706
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.
>>17192985
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.
>>17192706
I've seen 2 of these. One driven by an old lady, one sitting in a shitty used stealership in the ghetto.
>>17190349
My cousin drives a del sol and preludes are talked about often enough on /o/ that they're not forgotten by the guys here
>>17191625
If you've watched Seinfeld you've heard of a lebaron
>>17192985
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!
>>17194172
Lotus Elan Musk
>>17194172
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
>>17194517
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.
>>17188926
m6
>>17188926
r129s
>>17195433
Action Bronson has one of these and I love him for it
>>17195465
>Action Bronson has an M6
I think you mean he leaned against a 635csi once
>>17195433
>>17195440
you must live in africa if you think either of these is forgotten
>>17195440
lmao
>>17192706
>hey look we put an italian name on this stupid piece of shit we made
>it's luxury!
Jesus fuck
>>17191326
Poormans tercel
>>17190349
Ford Sierras are still plentiful around here. Most have been ruined by ricers though.
>>17195130
Dodge is putting Hellcat production to a halt and the Demon is the new hotness.
>>17195082
First car in this thread ive actually never seen or heard of
>>17195433
I had one. Pic dump to follow.
>>17196540
>>17196543
>>17191373
>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
>>17194172
There's one of these at the top of my road covered in moss, looks in good shape under the moss though
>>17195440
Asians haven't forgotten
>>17190497
One for sale near me for 800 , its in pretty bad shape but I was so tempted to go see it
Amc eagle
>>17196545
I don't know whether it looks great or ridiculous
Pic related, the happiest man in the world (I assume).
>>17190712
>incorrectly correcting incorrections
You mean screaming chicken?
>>17190336
What kind of camera/phone do u have?
>>17196718
The eagle is fucking awesome though
>>17195082
Nice Opel, I see those daily
>>17197092
Those brats are tiny
People don't give a shit about my car.
It's the only S-Line C5 in my town. Also definitely the only 2.7t around.
Only other C5 I have seen was at Pull-A-Part that I grabbed a few things from.
And no the front isn't scraping.
>>17197700
Speaking of that, it's Ford counterpart can go here as well.
>>17195082
A.K.A. Opel Astra H, daily sight in Europe
>>17197916
Maybe in burgerstan, fairly common in Europe
>>17197929
I live in the South of burgerland. My town is pretty big. Around 50k people or so. I never see C5's or anything older.
>>17195082
common as fuck in europe
>>17190097
Saw one on the road 2 days ago, sadly it looked like it had been in a coupe fender benders
>>17197694
Cute. Cute!
>>17190449
I heard that the 86 had to be rebadged as a nova because of importing issues in the US. This confirms it?
>>17195488
>filename
>>17191326
Oye. Where'd you get the dank rims. Looking to fit some on a Geo metro
>>17197916
No one cares, Audifag
>>17192681
>getting late the game 20 years later
>Nobody remembers the EXP.
>>17188962
Alphonse has one of these
>>17197916
Lithuanian here. Shitload of them. And all of them dirty diesels. Yep, its not popular in US, Id say near extinction. In eastern EU aka poor countries these cars are literal gems, especially 1.9tdi 81kw engines being very economical and reliable
>>17198677
>>17198682
Pls tell me im dreaming. These lil cute mazdas are almost gone. Rust pls stop
>>17192706
>Maserati badge on a K-car
Kill it with fire
>>17198646
>gems
germs*
>>17198682
I still see those qts
Now the 626 used to be plentiful, now they are rare as fuck, even for old Mazdas.
>>17198812
Really sad how fast mazdas are disappearing. Rust is most likely an issue?
>>17198824
I've never seen a 3rd gen irl yet it's not uncommon to see 4th gens around
I just found out about this car a day or so ago called the Honda S660. It's apparently a Kei car and I haven't seen it mentioned on here.
>>17198894
Congratulations on being new.
>>17198896
I've been on here for almost an entire year.
>>17190349
Tell me where the fwd touched you.
>>17195082
See them everywhere
Then again I live near Detroit so they're basically hand me down employee specials
Aveos are disgustingly common but I don't think I've ever seen one of these in person.
>>17188926
noone mentions the tipo anymore
These were the most common generic Toyotas at one point
>>17194517
Literally one in my little town.
>>17191625
I have seen one of these, in the exact same color, but no turbo.
>>17192482
Seen a few of them on my little city.
>>17195082
That's a fucking opel astra. Pretty common view here in europe.
>>17197694
Once more, seen a few of them.
>>17197700
This one I have seen only one, with the rear steering.
>>17197924
This one I have seen a few.
>>17198430
Same as with the sierra; not a lot sold (at least in europe), and most of them in the junk yard.
>>17192482
I saw one at the junkers recently. Kinda sad, desu.
>>17198991
Sierras were really common once upon a time. They had a decently long production run too. I still see a few around too. One is a really clean early one too, owned by some old man.
These were really popular in the early 90s in eastern europe.
>>17188926
There's a metric shit-tonne of these things in australia.
>>17198686
>>17198677
>>17198682
323's are common as hell in Australia. That being said, I've only ever seen the sedan version of >>17198677
>tfw didn't end up with an SP20 or pic rel
>>17199039
those were sold in the us as the datsun b210 i believe
>>17190549
I actually want an scx or calais 442 w41. it could be so sleepy
>>17190735
only other 4 door in the us to get the 4ag
>>17190449
>>17197694
I want a v6 mx-3 as well, they sound so good at full chat.
>>17190449
wtf i love chevy now
>>17190097
I've always wanted one of these or the Riviera.
>>17199466
Shit, you guys have warm climate no way theyre ever gonna rust. Fuck i jelly
>>17198307
No. For one, the badge engineered Novas were AE82s, for two the AE82 Novas and Corollas were sold and manufactured concurrently in the US.
>>17196540
>>17196543
>>17196545
My fucking dick. Why would you ever get rid of that?
>>17188962
Technically didn't Kia make that?
>>17190449
>4AGE
>In a chevy
I mean it's really a Toyota I know but god 80s and 90s badge engineering makes me erect for some reason.
>>17190497
I love the Impulse/Piazza, the first and second gens both. I hope to one day find a second gen with the Lotus handling package in okay shape.
Anyways pic related.
>>17195440
looks breddy gud m8 tbqh
>>17192706
There was also an option to get the Chrysler 2.2 Turbo that had a head cast by Cosworth, with the finishing touches put on by Maserati.
Rest of the engine was basically your average Turbo II, but still kind of neat.
Suzuki Cappuccino
Never seen one in real life
>>17192706
Did donald trump write this advert?
>>17191309
Thats a SAAB
Suzuki swift gt(i)
>alright nissan, you need to make a new car that's both functional and fast
>so what you're gonna do is take a volvo v70 and change the headlights
>then you're gonna take a skyline GT-R engine and dump it in there
>and then no one is ever gonna talk about it again. sounds good
>>17197656
For me
>>17188926
I haven't seen one of those in ages. No clue what happened to them
>>17190114
My mom had one 20 years ago, and it was a rusty pile of shit then.
>>17198677
my mum had one of these
recently saw one here in WA
but that's the only two i ever saw in my life
>>17201316
No, ya silly. Mazda did. It was called the Mazda 121 in Japan I think.
>>17198970
Got one in the front yard, mum loves it.
My mother's a fucking idiot.
>>17201316
You're thinking of the Aspire/Second gen Festiva
Mazda 121 based, Kia built, Ford sold.
Fucking disaster of a car, had one and it felt like you were on the edge of what's possible at town speed.
Name it
>>17202186
is that a subaru xt?
>>17190097
just gonna drop this here
https://www.copart.com/lot/26365216
I want to import one of these just to fuck with ricers
A JDM cavalier
>>17202186
AE92
>>17198812
My classmate has one, and shes one of the poorest, fattest girls i've seen. The 626 is in terrible condition, she never washes it, the interior smells like cow dung, and i feel pity for the front left suspension of it. Truly a sad sight, it could be a nice car.
>>17202113
>>17202137
Oh yeah the aspire's the Kia, the Festiva is the Mazda built one.
>>17202431
Same here, actually I'd be happy finding just the TRD body kit honestly.
TRD body kit, the supercharger dealers offered with Z24s. Just to piss people off.
>>17202832
Its great since their entire JDM Ricer world would come crashing down just by your presence
>>17201959
They're stupid common here, imported from Japan.
>>17188962
pretty common here
>>17190526
only saw one
>>17194517
not so rare
>>17195440
one of the most common mercedes here
>>17197924
saw one about 4 years ago
>>17198677
very common with the sedan body
>>17198985
it was imported from brazil back in the day, but now it's rare
>>17199466
another common one
>>17196786
Same feeling
>>17197223
iphone 5/6? I dunno the exact kind, since I'm not the one that chose it.
>>17190735
yea that's the smallport 3rd gen 4AGE
>tfw no AW11s came stock with this engine
>>17202082
Is that an old Lancer?
>>17202186
Toyota Sprinter Trueno Apex Limited
chassis code AE92
Now for something different.
>>17203498
>>17191326
spicy car, my dude
>>17190097
There's two of these beauts running around my small down; a red one driven by an elderly lady and a white one driven by a middle aged man. The red one is fuckin ace.
>>17201751
Still common in nz and aus. There was a 260RS Autech edition for sale here a while ago for 10k USD, the only catch that it wouldn't be legal to register until the end of this year.
I was so tempted, rb26dett and 4wd it's basically a gtr wagon.
>>17204011
should've got it. I'd get a second hand one cause you can get them fairly cheap, but i'm still on green p's and I think they're over the power to weight ratio in nsw. also the insurance would be fucking ridiculous on them.
>>17203438
yea
Lancer III
>>17196718
AMC [anything] counts as a forgotten car at this point.
>>17194172
wasn't this on top gear?

Most of them were sold in japan with 1,100 going to the uk.
>>17201382
They're starting to become legal to import to the States iirc. I met a guy that apparently owns one of the only ones in CA, he imported it to Washington and has it registered there. It's pretty neat in person, I'd love to get one
>>17206934
Damn that looks neat
