Anybody Have a Soft Spot for TURBO Cars?

That's my red '86 CS Turbo in the back, underneath the word "selling" prior to me owning it.
Shortly after the shoot, it was wrecked and the front end damaged.
I found it in back of the dealership and gave $600 for it.
Also bought an 84 Lazer turbo parts car (with talking dash) to get the front end metal.
It was a SUPER fun car, but had dependability issues starting with the aforementioned vacuum leaks, plus electronic gremlins and several broken shift forks.
The torque steer was unreal, and could put you in the next lane.

Also on that mag cover, are a friend's 73 340 Challenger, another friends 440 transplanted 66 Coronet, and radio host Mason Dixon's Challenger convertible.

Cool deal, not sure the torque steer was that bad, but Ya' gotta be on Your toes some. The early A-525's were a weak link on those for sure, things definitely got better
later on in the gearbox dept. Never had any electronic gremlins in any of Mine, including the talking '84 Laser XE,.......I actually liked that.....there were two basic systems
an 11 & a 24 function monitor alert system. My XE's had the 24's, startled the crap out of a few passengers that weren't given a heads up, lol!!!
