Find of the Day – 1985 Dodge 600 ES Convertible
Look up 1980s Posh in the dictionary and I think a picture of this car would be there. This 1985 Dodge 600 ES Convertible finished in white with a saddle brown interior is all ’80s class. Despite a moderate amount of kilometers driven, the car is still in fantastic shape inside and out (although itContinue reading “Find of the Day – 1985 Dodge 600 ES Convertible”
Find of the Day – 1984 Toyota Celica GT
It’s hard to believe that this 1984 Toyota Celica GT has over 235,000 km on the odometer. Look at it – it’s pristine. Rarely does a nearly 40-year old car survive this long without the body rusting out and the seats tearing apart, but here lies the exception. Would a manual transmission make this carContinue reading “Find of the Day – 1984 Toyota Celica GT”

Find of the Day – 1987 Dodge Raider
Hey, remember these? You can be excused if you don’t. The Dodge Raider was a rebadged Mitsubishi Montero sold for a few years at the end of the 1980s. It was a three-door SUV powered by a 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine. For sale here is a 1987 example that appears to have been used the wayContinue reading “Find of the Day – 1987 Dodge Raider”
Winged Car Wednesday – Ford Sierra RS Cosworth
From 1986 until 1989 Ford UK made a special version of the brand’s mid-size Sierra, called the RS Cosworth. As the name implies, Cosworth produced engines for these special edition lift-backs and sedans – a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that made between 204 hp and 224 hp depending on the year and trim level. The mostContinue reading “Winged Car Wednesday – Ford Sierra RS Cosworth”
Irrational Love – Pontiac Fiero
When I first starting really appreciating cars, the Fiero was the butt end of jokes. It was the early 1990s and the Fiero’s sullied reputation was still fresh in many people’s minds. Despite selling over 370,000 examples in a five-year run, highly publicized issues that plagued the early models scared buyers away. I didn’t fullyContinue reading “Irrational Love – Pontiac Fiero”
Friday Fun – ’80s Reasonable Garage
Welcome to a new feature we are trying out on AutoLobotomy.com – Friday Fun. Ok, calling it a feature may be a stretch as it is really a catch all for anything fun that we will post on a Friday. It could be a fantasy garage, video game challenge, used car scavenger hunt, etc. ThisContinue reading “Friday Fun – ’80s Reasonable Garage”
Find of the Day – 1985 Volkswagen GTI
Will the Mk2 Golf GTI become one of those classic cars sky rocketing in price? Maybe, but for now super clean examples like this 1985 Volkswagen Golf GTI are still reasonably affordable. With 135,000 km on the odometer, the interior and exterior are in excellent condition, at least in the photos. The seats have theContinue reading “Find of the Day – 1985 Volkswagen GTI”
Irrational Love – Subaru XT
In the early ‘80s, it seemed every Japanese manufacturer was vying for consumers attention with a two-door, wedge-shaped coupe. Well, every manufacturer but one. Nissan had the 300ZX, Toyora the Supra, Mazda the RX-7, Honda the Prelude, and Mitsubishi the Starion. But Subaru had nothing. At least, the brand had nothing until the 1985 introductionContinue reading “Irrational Love – Subaru XT”
