As a child of the 80s as soon as I saw this thumbnail I knew this was a much watch for me. Nostalgia overload on this one. I was too young to drive yet but I saw a 1986 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z with red on top and silver on the bottom in the showroom when my dad was buying a new car and I wanted one so badly. Tried to talk my dad into getting that one but he wasnt having it lol.
@@Pyjamarama11don’t know why you’re putting judgements on this person’s living situation, that has absolutely nothing to do with this video and it’s not related to the car whatsoever. The damage done to the interior of the car is from water damage. The sun beating down on the fragile fabrics and plastics also are a major cause for the condition of the interior and nothing else. It’s just how these cars were made.
In Chrysler commercials of the 1980s, Lee Iacocca said their cars were just as good as the Japanese. "If you can find a better car buy it!" Of course, Chrysler's buils quality is nowhere as Honda and Toyota
Around 15 years ago, i was very close to buying a Dodge Daytona Shelby Z, can't remember what year it was, but it was in great shape all except for... it looked like it was left out in a hail storm. Little dents scattered around. I just wanted a car to drive and thought it looked kinda fun. I sort of doubted the Shelby name on it. Still though. Anyway someone else bought it before i could, it's another sort of interesting vehicle i 'almost' had.
I very clean one just popped on Bring a Trailer. It’s very clean with a 5-Speed. I must resist the urge to buy it. Would look great next to my Fiero. Great review Zack.
My sister had this car when she was in college and it was terrible blind spots everywhere and I would never get one and I'm glad that she didn't get into a bad accident with it
My neighbors had one of these when i was a teenager, same brown and beige but it was an 84' My father had a 90' Shelby Daytona VNT. it was quick but the torque steer was a little over the top.
At the time, a coworker of mine had one of those. Its tires were much more aggessive looking than on the one in this video (and somewhat more so than on my ‘85 Laser).
Why say it has poor build quality when it has had a hard life. Not fair to the car My dad's Dakota has same seats still 30 plus years old . Age happends Love the car, dash layout, turbo gauge , Stop Zack this is way better than any rotary pos
Survivorship bias. This car has survived this long but most didn't. Chrysler has never been known for quality. Mazda rotaries are reliable if you know about the rotary's quirks.
I had an ‘85 Laser XE Turbo, and I’ll agree about the poor build quality, at least for initial quality. I special-ordered mine (got all the options except for AT/radio/tint), and it came from the factory with 7 different water leaks into the cabin. Took a small group of coworkers to lunch, and my group supervisor sat in the back seat. “Hey, the seat’s wet back here”. Found another leak! Long-term quality wasn’t too bad. The only real problem I had later on was that the driver-seat recliner puts all of its force on one front corner when you lean against the seat-back, and the seat-frame weld on that front corner couldn’t handle it. My cloth upholstery held up quite well for the 140K (maybe 150K, don’t remember) miles that I had it.
@@ShootingCarsyes. This was a dodge Aries with sportier body panels. The rx7 was a real machine! Like you said this is just ok enough to drive to Shop Rite. This car needed a new head gasket every 30,000 miles, unless you never pushed it. It wasn’t just terrible to drive, it wasn’t even available to drive so much of the time. I had one of these in the 80s, used, and a chevette. I liked the chevette better because it brought me wherever I wanted to go, whereas this piece of crap ruined several holidays for me.

I had an ‘85 Laser, and I think the car they were really trying to copy was the 928. It has the same general “fishbowl” shape of the rear cabin, and the upper trim levels even had rear sun visors, just like a 928.

Man, that interior looks nasty. I wouldn't want to touch anything without gloves but other than that, it's a great video.
Imagine what their house is like ...

It's how it showed up here. Sitting abandoned for many years didn't do it any good.
Yeah Ikd how he does it
😂😂🤢🤮

Bro was lying through his teeth.
Hi, I'm Karl! Someone come get this Daytona out of my life and into your's! It's in Loves Park, IL!
I'm trying to convince my friend who's got a Lebaron to buy it
Inb4 FOLKS
@@steverado87 FoLkS!!!!!
I'd offer but my wife would divorce me.
I'll be honest. When I was 16 years old this was the dream car I thought I could actually reach. Lowkey I still want one.
Awesome car unique unlike the crossover crap of today
You better call karl then

@@celsovera91 I said it looked like carl's car when i saw it, i was going to paint it with "2 wycked" on it and everything.
Damn, this thing reminds me of that bathroom scene from Trainspotting. Holy mother of filth!
The person who basically abandoned it here had it sitting for years!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I very clean one just popped on Bring a Trailer. It’s very clean with a 5-Speed. I must resist the urge to buy it. Would look great next to my Fiero. Great review Zack.
Your manners are impeccable
I'm shocked it's still running after nearly 40 years.
hey! good to see you here, I see your comments on Raitis Rides all the time!
A miracle considering the owner clearly abuses it
@@Pyjamarama11 long story short the car was basically abandoned with me and now I have to find it a new home.
I personally think that 88 is really good looking.
My first car was a 1989 Dodge Daytona 5 speed.
The last year of the air/oil cooled turbos . And a 10 second 0-60
I’m reasonably sure all the turbo 2.2’s had water cooling. I had an ‘85 Laser XE turbo, and I somewhat recall that as one of their features.
You are my good narrator I like your videos
Auto shifter is not good , That car should have had a 5 speed manual transmission it would have worked so much better
Frank Sinatra drove a red one in Cannonball Run 2, and it out ran Dean Martin's C4 Corvette. 😂
Yes! My neighbor Rob still has his from Highschool!
My sister had this car when she was in college and it was terrible blind spots everywhere and I would never get one and I'm glad that she didn't get into a bad accident with it
My neighbors had one of these when i was a teenager, same brown and beige but it was an 84'
My father had a 90' Shelby Daytona VNT. it was quick but the torque steer was a little over the top.
Very 80s and I like the interior with its gridlines, dirty though it is. The exterior looks like an amalgamation of 80s coupes.
"...taking this to ShopRite and back." - someone's been spending a lot of time in Jersey 😂
Beautiful, beautiful car. Back when that was new, very edgy styling.
These things were so cool. Rear window louvers? Yes please!
There was a Shelby version of the Daytona
At the time, a coworker of mine had one of those. Its tires were much more aggessive looking than on the one in this video (and somewhat more so than on my ‘85 Laser).
This looks like i would expect one to look. Even in California you never see them on the road.
If only it was rare wheel drive
Broken speedometer. I'm surprised the turbo wasn't burned out.
This was based on the Chrysler G platform, which was derived from the Chrysler K platform.
They didn't even say they had to go the call was "lost" and no one called back
It's a literal mullet on wheels.....what trailer park was this towed from?
😂😂😂😂
One in northern Illinois according to the phone number's area code
My goodness, it's so ugly and dilapidated.
I love it, how cool is that! I would rock this.
Why say it has poor build quality when it has had a hard life. Not fair to the car
My dad's Dakota has same seats still 30 plus years old . Age happends
Love the car, dash layout, turbo gauge ,
Stop Zack this is way better than any rotary pos
It’s not better than an rx7 but thank you!
@@ShootingCars you love rxs but these 2.2 turbos seem to last longer .

I sincerely hope some sends him a request to drive a clean example 240SX.
You need to find a 1984 VW GTI , unless I missed one of your videos
This car hasn't been cleaned since 1986 either.
It's BROWN. He likes his cars brown. Brown food, brown drink.
How do you know the mileage when the speedometer is broken?
This car appears in Demolition Derby 2 👍
No imposter about it.
Patina👌
oki so the turbo sounds sick...literally like ill sick...not a good thing
Do you take requests since you borrow some cars from dealerships

Nice car
Awful era for Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge coupes. Buy Mitsubishi Starion instead.
Thought this was a badge engineered starion.
Starion's are pretty sweet but they also have some crazy issues. I've had one before and loved it but talk about a nightmare EFI system.
🔥🔥🔥
Is that even safe to drive??
Porsche 944 lookalike lol
