Just a car I once had.... (Pics)

Ive always liked them, they have real presence in person, how does it drive?

 

I'm wondering if the evolution of the car will be as drastic approximately 20 years in the future? It's amazing how aerodynamic the cars have become and where they will go....Nonetheless, I love the older cars just the same.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Wow, I think I'm in love. What kind of money do these go for?

 

I never drove one, but rode in the back of one, in the early 80's, at an event, in Ft. Lauderdale. I remember, I loved the sound, the rumble of the V8, and the aroma of that beautiful leather interior. A Grande GT Sedan! I think Tom Clark, sold them at The Steering Wheel, his Dealership, on Sunrise Blvd, in Ft. Lauderdale.

were they still carburated in 1986? just curious, as the bi-turbo & spyders went fuel injected in '87. (i believe

joe.

 

mine was an 85 rifle grey w/ the same color leather (they all had the same color leather). i bought mine w/ only 11k miles on it and it was like new inside and out. it was my daily driver for 3 years and 30k plus miles. it never passed a gas station w/o stopping but it was an amazing car to drive and was so opulent it is hard to describe.

it made a fantastic sound and once moving, could accelerate very hard for a car weighing 4700lbs. no fast off the line but in a highway roll on, it was strong! but, give yourself a good distance to stop as once up to speed...it took a good long distance to bring her down!!!

mine was totally stock appearing w/ the exception of a stebro exhaust and a set of afco produced front springs to stiffen and lower the fron end...it looked very aggressive w/ her new raked front end!!!

i sold it w/ just over 40k miles for the same money that i bought it for! if i could find a perfect example for sale, i would love to have it as there is really not another car from yesterday or today (possible exception being the aston lagonda) like it.

and yes...all years sported 4 twin choke webers!!!
