...I want mine back!
Or atleast a GLT saloon! Not a 5dr and not really digging the 3drs either tbh.
I must admit I miss this thing more than I thought I would

Epic selling fail. Get a cheap 340 and Valve it, you'll not regret it. It's like a 360GLT but you can chase supras

300 saloons are pretty awesome though.

Nah - i've got lots of other toys to go quickly and sideways in. Dont want another project to get stuck into. The missus would go mad!
Just loved the all toys standard and reliability of it 'out of the box'. Had character to it alot of older stuff didnt have and always made ppl think 'what aload of rubbish' till u said you had a 22yr old 45k mile car with leccy everything, heated allsorts and cost less to buy and run than a most runarounds they are using. lol
Suppose I would consider any spec saloon though...
Epic selling fail - yes!

Yeh - dont know what it is about them - or maybe that one in particular. Was such a reliable car. Probs the mileage added to that tbh.
Saloons win for me. Love the 80's saloon boxy shape of things like that and even peugeot 505 sedans but any sporty model is v.v.v.rare or in austrailia! lol Not a fan of the 3/5dr. My mate has a 3 and its miles better than a 5, but i dont know what it is, I dont dig it as much as the saloon.
