Ok here's a weird one. 1989 Dodge Colt Turbo. Only made them in this bodystyle for one year, and only 1500 of them. This one was sitting outside a dealership I was at today, it looks like it is red primer but that's just faded original paint. 5 speed, black interior. All the windshield wipers were missing so it's probably been sitting so long they all rotted off it. I guess it's about as close as you get to a Turbo Firefly that isn't a Suzuki clone. The factory wheels looked like scaled down mid '80s Corvette wheels. This thing would be fun to horse around with and see what kind of FE you could coax out of it. Though the 9000 RPM factory tach would be a little too inviting for me lol. Sadly, no one that I talked to there knew anything about it or what it was doing there.
