The same 80 I've got now.

Bought it in 1989, still my one and only automotive love. Haven't ever needed more than one.

mine was a primer colred 85 S. it was originally sunrise red. the only nice part of the car was the interior...the wheel wells were so bad that the car flexed on take off and in between shifts. i ended up parting it and what was left went to teh scrapper..i wish i still had the car because now i would restore it.

80 LS has been in my garage coming up on 30 years and has served me well all the way from first girlfriend to first wife.

My first RX was a pretty tired 1984 GS, body was clean, but it leaked oil, coolant and exhaust. I beat that sucker into oblivion. I have no pics but it looked exactly like this one:
