They should have just called it The Stegosaurus

Owned a red one as well as a Tempo with the "rare" 2.3L HO engine, and a Topaz.
A nitrous fed 1979 Chevette? check
A 1962 Ford Falcon Sprint? check
A 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente convertible? check
Pontiac Phoenix? The Nova based one, not the newer Omega/Citation one.
I had a 79 Phoenix 2 door with a 305 V8. I've only seen a few others for sale in my life, none in that combo.
My godmother had a four door Ventura and her latest husband has a 1979 Phoenix and a 1981 Citation X-11 both with less than 20K miles on them.
How about a Toyota Sports 800? Never officially sold here, but I know of at least a few dozen running around this country, mostly brought in by servicemen returning from parts of the Pacific. Tiny Air-cooled boxer twin, and the first targa top in production. I've always wanted one but haven't bought one yet. A show-quality example might be out of the budget, but a project can be quite affordable.
So has anyone owned an SM or not? It might not be grassroots but you can find a ratty one. It must have been a time wheen I hit my head but something about the SM is cool. I might have seen one on the road EVER.

Not that they'd admit here anyway.
I have a REPU. I know not ultra rare,but fairly rare.
Anybody have a Simca?
Yep. We called her Suzy Simca.
I'll put my money on the Mini Moke. Pretty much only attainable in the Caribbean. (there's also the 80s-tastic Carimoke, but it's basically the same thing). The Morris Traveller/Pickup seem like safe bets too.

I've owned three, scratch it off the list . . .

I had a Storm GSi. It was my $2004 build. I think I ended up 37th.
If I had an Izusu RS Turbo and AWD swap w/NOS you guys would have remembered.

Sorry, back when I was broke before I moved here I bought one off a guy down the pub for 30GBP ($48USD). It had been hit on the rear 1/4 so I pushed that out with a hydraulic ram and ran it for 3-4 months. The engine once seized on the M1. After letting it sit for an hour it freed up again so I added more oil and continued on.
It was yellow, I wanted to add a big red stripe and paint a '4' on the door. Any Brit's or Anglophiles have any idea why? It made sense to any one my age. The only reason I didn't was because I didn't want to draw attention to myself as I had no tax disc on, a big No No in England.
This car came after my Spitfire and before my Opel Manta GTE (not a Manta GT sold here)
Anybody mentioned a DAF Daffodil yet?
You'll need to log in to post.
