Well, as much as I do love the dear, dear Pink Marquis, I found a car for sale on the internet that I just couldn't pass up. I won't have it in my posession until tomorrow afternoon (becuase the banks were closed when I decided to buy it, so can't get the money out until they open at 9:00)

I want it to be a surprise, so I'll post pictures and info tomorrow when I have the car.

For now, I'll give you guys some hints and see if you can guess it!

1. It's American

2. It's a convertible

3. It has a 4-cylinder Turbocharged engine

4. It is a 1984 model

5. It has a fully digital dashboard (very advanced for the time)

6. It's 1 of only 1768 of it's kind (for the model year)

7. It has 19,000 original miles (for a 25 year old car!!)


Now, what model car did I buy?

Either one of these- http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ctd/1123635251.html ('84 Caddy)
A '84 Mustang
http://www.rivieraconvertible.com/ Buick Rivera
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Cavalier Chevy Cavailer

I'm out of geusses...!

EDIT-I cheated!
1984 Buick Riviera
1984 Chrysler Lebaron
1984 Cadillac Eldorado
1984 Dodge 600
1984 Chevrolet Cavalier
1984 Ford Mustang
1984 Chevrolet Celebrity
1984 Pontiac J2000

Its any one of these... If I search harder I could find the exact one, but I can't right now

All I'll say is.... it's one of the cars on that list.

The Dodge?

What makes you say that?

Chrysler LeBaron.

I cheated in a better way, i know which one it is already, but i waon't ruin his surprise and it's quite nice by the way.

Dodge 600 ES Turbo ?

Wow, you nailed it ville84! Exact madel and trim.

I'm getting the car in a few hours, I'll have pictures then.

Here she is, in all her sexy K-car glory

That's sweet looking. I've always loved those Dodge rims.

The 80s did have some crazy wheels. The ones on the 1984 Ford Tempo were pretty neat too




Anyway, more pictures of the Dodge:

That digital dashboard (with fake wood!) is very stereotypical 1980s.
Does it have this.

Unfortnately, no. I was hoping it would have it too. Though I'd probably get tired of it and turn it off anyway, that's what tends to happen with that type of system

! very nice. How much, may I ask? Are you keeping the Mercuary? But again, very, very nice looking.

For now, the Mercury will be kept. I'll probably put it up for sale on Craigslist in a few weeks or months. Btw, if anyone's inerested you can have it for $2000.

The Dodge cost $3600, but it is certainly worth it. It's such fun to drive a convertible! And the turbo engine makes it quite speedy too, 142 horsepower in a little 2600 pound car. Compare that to 150 HP in my 3800 pound Merc Certainly a change of pace for me.

Yes, it would be quick. Were did you purchase it? Far away?

Nope, got it from a guy who lives in a rural area about 10 miles from my house.

Nice. I like the digital gauges. It's like the one on my grandfather's 2001 Deville.

Congratulations to your car!

But I must admit, that one thing of it makes me really mad and pissed.

The fu..ing badge!!! It's an unbelievable impudence!!!
(not by you Max, by the Chrysler Company).
