That’s kinda perfect right thar.Holy moly.
Circa. early to mid-eighties, me and one of my cousins would bring out this car catalogue the size of a Sear’s catalogue.
Go through all the makes and write down the options and deletes we’d want for our choices. GM were the best. Endless options to mix & match.
Living in The Bronx, we’d see Caprice Classics like this.
However, visiting relatives down south, we’d see more Caprice 2-doors like the one TexTex posted. Tints, Rally wheels and BFGs. Doesn’t get much better than that. Good memories.

I think about this car a lot. It was a minor plot point and made occasional appearances on NBC's crime drama Life some fifteen years ago.
It's the striping that does it for me.
In particular I dig the way the stripe "misses" the hood bulge.

I really like these. Definitely among my favorite Fox cars. The nose is a bit of a letdown like the '83-6 Thunderbird and the '87 facelift similarly improved the front end tremendously, but I don't care for the rest of the Cougar facelift.
This thing is unbelievably clean, it's just a pity it's a V6 car.
I do prefer the more symmetrical '83-4 dash, especially the XR7 without the fake wood.

I don't know. I guess I like that it isn't as angular as the aforementioned Ford.

More-door hardtop Torino!
This particular example is rough, but oh, mama, I would love one of these. The '70-1 Torinos had one of the most attractive interiors, to my mind, of the muscle car era (perhaps second only to its sibling Montego).

Well, this is weird. The Ford SHO-Star concept, a windstar with the Yamaha V6 used in the Taurus SHO.

But was it actually powered by one? I've read multiple, conflicting accounts, including that it was just a standard Windstar with cosmetic changes.
Saleen, however, built a Windstar "RRR" for Tim Allen with a supercharger on top of the 3.8 V6 that it came with.
