Colt GTS Turbo!

Okay, some posts here will show genuinely desirable cars, but they’ll tend to be unusual and/or forgotten, cult-classic-types.

For your enjoyment, we hereby submit a Colt GTS Turbo!  Seller mentions it being a Black Edition and rare – can’t verify that, but it’s possible it has a bit of a black gold thing going on.  We support that.

Craigslist ad, while it lasts

Exterior could use a little love, but these were made for fun, not shows.

Louvers add street cred, as does LARGE turbo script.

Seller claims this one runs and drives well.  This unassuming engine is one reason we’re interested in this car.

Turbo script on the seats – an 80s requirement.

Damn right they’re on the rear seats, too.

Last, but certainly not least, TWIN STICK!  Oh yes, that’s the other reason to pay attention to these pocket rockets.

Ad text:

I have a 1984 Colt GTS Turbo “Black Edition” with 83K original miles on it.
Runs and drives great, with a newer turbo, brakes, gas tank, fuel lines, and some spare NOS parts.
The car needs a better hood, bumpers and paint to complete. 
No accident history, very nice interior, and the ever unique 8 speed transmission.
With a very small investment, this car could be phenomenal, and, as there were only 200 “Black Editions” / “Pocket Rocket Editions” ever made, the car is quite rare.
I am looking to sell outright, but would entertain a trade for a nice Suzuki Samurai//SJ410, 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport (V6, 4WD, manual), or a low mileage 1997 Suzuki TL1000S (green)
Please feel free to contact me for additional descriptive and photos.
