1993 Suzuki Swift GT

Here's one that I thought was silly, until I read about it. A 1993 Suzuki Swift GT.
It came with a 4 cylinder, 1.3L DOHC engine that made about 100hp.  This was a big difference from the 3 cylinder engine that came in the regular Swift (which was essentially a Geo Metro).

This engine in fact (as far as I've read) is better than the one in the Geo Metro LSI.  I thought they were both the same car but they weren't.  The Swift GT is apparently a fairly popular track car, due to the light weight and strong engine.  It also came with 4 wheel disc brakes and better suspension.

Special decals on the side.

Standard interior.

1981 Porsche 924

Here's one I never thought I'd find, a Porsche!

 This is a 1981 Porsche 924.  The 924 replaced the 914 as the entry level model.  It was produced from 1976-1988.
Surprisingly, this one still has a lot of its bits left, with exception to the interior.

However, surprisingly most of the engine was still there!

As far as I know this is the base model.  There were a number of different ones made, such as the 924 Turbo and 924S.  There were others as well but they were not made for the US market.  I believe the engine in this is the 2.0L one.

1975 Mercury Bobcat

When I first came across this car I had no idea what it was.  From the remnants of the badges I could see it was a Mercury Bobcat but I had never heard of it before.  Additionally, it seems to have the MPG package.

It turns out, the Mercury Bobcat is simply a rebadged Ford Pinto!  While the Pinto was made from 1971-1980, the Bobcat was only made from 1974-1980.

This one had a lot stripped from it.  But not much from the engine.  

I have no idea what size engine is in this one.  But I did find that the MPG package means it has different gearing ratios (and that's all I could find about it).

Interior is toast.

1989 Nissan NX Pulsar

  
I remember the first time I came across one of these.  I was driving on the I-17 and I saw one with a rare Sportback.  My first thought was that perhaps it was some kind of import, or rare sports car.  What I saw was a second generation Nissan NX Pulsar (just like this one, except this has the standard hatchback).  
These were made from 1986-1990.

I think the rear is obviously the cooler-looking part of the car.  The front and side seems pretty typical to me.

Not too exciting inside. 

This particular car came with the 1.6L throttle body injection SOHC (with the other option being a 1.8L fuel injection, DOHC)

1989 Ford Probe GT

The first generation Ford Probe.  It was only made from 1989-1992.  The second generation lasted a bit longer ('93-'97).  In any case, out if all the trim levels available this is the big one: the GT!

 Special styling in the rear

It came with the 2.2L turbo charged engine. The whole car is based on the Mazda GD platform.

More special decals on the side.

Came with a 5 speed manual and 4 wheel disc brakes.

This particular one managed to make it almost to 212,000.  These engines were very reliable.  The same engine was also found in the Mazda MX-6 Turbo (which coincidentally I also found at the same junkyard)
