1971 Toyota Celica

Though advertisements said "it's pretty easy to think you're in a sports car", the Celica, introduce to the U.S. in 1971, was actually a fairly capable performance machine. The Celica was available in LT, ST, and GT trims, though it's hard to tell what this one is. This first-year Celica has been parked outside a repair shop for years, and is in solid, though incomplete shape.

1985 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

The new, "aero style" Thunderbird appeared in 1983, as did the sporty Turbo Coupe. Early cars had 140 horsepower, but gained 15 HP in 1985. After the big, slow, and soft Thunderbirds of the 70s and early eighties, this 9th generation car was finally modern and desirable. Although they are still relatively common, the clean condition (except for under the trim on the doors) and the the fact that it's a Turbo Coupe prompted me to take pictures.
