I know that most of you on here are "car guys, or girls." I was thumbing the pages of Novembers Hemmings Sport and Exotic Car Mag and saw something that blew my hair back. A car I had never seen nor even knew existed. Now granted I know relatively little about anything if anything at all, I was shocked at what was on pg40 at the bottom. My first guess (Celica) was wrong. I instantly dove in to the google and yahoo search to pull up more. I got the idea to start a thread about a car that has made you not only take a second long look, but a third and fourth and fifth. Post up a single picture of the one car other than a 1g or 3g that you could look at all day long. Rare, Exotic, outrageous, whatever. Something like PURE LUST. Here's my Pic: A 1978 TE51 Toyota Corolla SR5 Sun Chaser!

Interesting thread idea -8. Only thing is I had TWO cars that came to mind when I initially thought about this.
Regarding your choice...I remember seeing some of those things running around on the streets down here in Florida back in the late 70's. I thought they went a bit over the top with the add-ons though.
At anyrate... I'll probably never get to own or drive one but I've always thought these were one of the sexiest cars ever made. Both visually & aurally.

If you love the Elise, drive a Se7en - Caterham or whatever...
It has even less content than the Elise, is less graceful looking
...and changes direction like a ping pong ball whacked by Thor.

Don't laugh, my dad had one of these that was modded when I was a kid, I always look a few times when I actually see another.
Old school hatchback.
But in all honesty almost all old cars make me look a couple times.

Yes, Starion/Conquest catch mine too. Almost got a White Conquest TSI with sport package for 5k before I bought my 84 1500S, only reason I didn't was my Dad would not co-sign. Lots of cars catch my eye though.

The SR5 badge on the side gives it away. a rare find though... those are hard to come by.

I've ridden in a Super 7 (an original).....it's a race car for the street. Not the fastest thing in a straight line but stopping and turning.....(almost) unmatched!!
Good choice!! OK as is the E30 M3..........
So many cars, so little money to afford any of them......If only I could win the lottery

An Ultima! nice. I have a couple of old aquaintences that have Ultimas. One a closed top as shown here and the other an open top. Neither are used on the street though, both were raced regionally at Mosport.
Nice car and you can build it yourself.....
The Stealth B6 is along the same lines too!
