So there are really other people out there as fanatical about vehicles that you shouldnt be fanatical about. I mean shoot, we are into S10s. Some of us REALLY into our S10s...
this guy loved his sunbird... his 5100 mile original Turbo Sunbird!!! Holy poop!!

the turbo sunbirds have two generations of gauges. This car is the 1st gen. The 2nd gen is the SyTy gauges. Its neat to see where our gauges came from though.

I had one of these near the end of high school. Although it was an '85 model with the 1.8L Turbo and not convertible. I actualy really liked that car, but I'll take the Sy any day over it. :)

Dammit man! I have looked all over the place for a turbo Sprint! near impossible to find unless you are in Canada. i had one when i was 16. 1987 Chevy Turbo Sprint. Just like the turbo Forza. weeee!!

I want another one now and fix it all up.

The turbo Sprints were 3 cylinders? 1987, I hope they were fuel injected!

Yep fuel injected, intercooled, and they even came with a kock sensor. Mine weighs 1,740lbs with me in it and full interior.

I had been looking for one for about 3 years before I bought my '87 in Portland. Very little rust on this one too! I'm getting it ready to autocross next season.
