Pretty Fly for a Sh!tbox

Here in the US, we only got the turbocharged, three-cylinder-powered Suzuki Swift/Cultus in the form of the Chevy Sprint from 1986 through 1988.  When the second generation car came to the US, the only high performance variant available was the excellent Suzuki Swift GTI (later GT due to VW lawsuit threats).  Canada, however, got a turbocharged version of the second generation car AND sold them as Pontiacs!  Oh, did I mention the car was called a Firefly?

Here we have a Turbo Firefly apparently in pretty good shape, although, with this type of car, that just means it’s not a total rust bucket like most.  The interior appears to need some basic attention, but the outside really doesn’t look bad at all.  Dark wheels look sort of cool on this one.

The question is whether the seller is anywhere near the market at a $4K starting price.  So far, the market says no.

Hood scoop was the real deal, as there’s a top-mounted intercooler under there.  It can also be seen on the Canadian Swift Turbo we posted quite a while back.

I LOVE the graphics on this thing!

This is one of the most ‘creative’ installations of dash speakers I have ever seen.

Seats and dash need some love.
