Odd Cars....did you own one?

[hech54]

Anyone remember this car? Mine never got this beat up because I loved that little bastard. Best damn car I ever owned. My only regret was not buying two of them.....they were so cheap.

[Capmaster]

What is it?

I didn't own any "odd" cars, but these two were unusual:

[hech54]

It was made in(imported to) America between 1977 and 1980....and I heard rumors they were made(imported) up until 1982 in California.

[Capmaster]

Yugo?

[hech54]

NO WAY....those were junk.
This was made in Germany....but it's not a German car.....exactly.

i had a RENAULT GORDINI, SAAB SONET and TR7 .....


in fact somewhere buried on this site i posted a pic of all the cars i ever owned (a lot) , though now it is out of date as i would have had 3 different ones now since that was posted a year or so ago ...

[hech54]

Saab Son(n)et....cool car. Triumph TR7...also cool.

[Rookie64]

Don't know if either are odd -

Chevette and Geo Prizm

[BJ_M]

[hech54]

Close.....Ford Fiesta 1.6 liter American version...

hard to keep track which engine they used ... because they had

1.1
1.1S
1.25
1.4 (D) and (TD)
1.4 (Gas)
1.4 16v
1.6 (many many versions, to many to list - about 8 or 9)
and 2.0

I ragged the piss out of this one for five or six years 10-15 years ago. Great car. Lotsa good times & memories.

[hech54]

These were made by Ford Werks in Germany....with a 1.6 liter Kent engine. I was lucky enough to get one with a Weber "over-under 4 barrel" carb on mine.
I could lay tire for a week....
Mine broke down one time. Sold it with 101K miles on it....original clutch and everything.
The repair cost me $4.95 + $20 labor....clogged fuel filter.

BMW 2000 Sports Automatic. One hell of a weird car!

AMX, right?

I miss my '66 Mustang. My grandfather had lots of really nice cars, including a '56 Eldo and a '64 Riviera....

Idunno, but it sure was tough.

Now they are Mazda 121's mostly....they were GREAT when the Germans were still making them. I like the newest ones though...those are nice. Looks like a baby Focus.
