When we were livin' in the days of thunder.

The Midnight.

[@ZambiKir]

Yeah nose thunder

[@MaestroTJS]

Prime '80's commercial right here.

[@VitoVeccia]

This commercial is an acid trip gone wrong, meets radio shack, meets the synthesizer era....man do I miss the 80's.

[@owllymannstein7113]

We are living in the ashes of empire.

[@PasiemuKasMano]

One of the most beautiful hatchbacks ever made i guess.

Arūnas Okunevičius If you could put a hell cat motor in one today

[@bobstone4243]

I have an 89, these cars are fucking awesome

[@ripjeffhanneman]

These commercials are so cool. Where else can you see a brand new 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo, brand new, fully stock?

[@georgeharleydavidsonrider156]

Jeff Hanneman All 146 HP . Sad thing is you don’t see it in these cars anymore. The build quality they were all Junk . Daytona was one of my favorite cars in the 80s.

[@kevinkiley6503]

@@georgeharleydavidsonrider156 easy way to kill the 146 HP was a Mopar Performance computer for $150. Get the HP to around 165 and torque to 180 ft lbs or so. With that 2600 lb Daytona you’d have a quick car for the time. I still own an ‘85 Turbo- you’re correct about the build quality- not so much on the interior but the seams behind the strut towers and other body seams. I’ve repaired mine and it’s always garaged. Love the ‘84-‘86’ look and they still look great- the ‘87-‘93 I don’t think have aged as well.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE IT THEN AND I LOVE IT NOW!!!

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

MASTERPIECE!

[@manthing43]

I was hoping somebody would post the long version! Thanks much!

[@josephboley]

I owned a 1987 and a 1989 Dodge Daytona. With the tee tops.

[@AldenRDavis]

KNIGHT DRIVER!!!

[@alfredsnyder4]

Really cool when it shows the same guy

[@ScottSquires]

They actually check with Harrison Ford reps to see if they could hire him for the spot. He wanted way too much money for them.

Well made. You had loads of fun making this I think. Hours put in paid off. Rob c

[@AllanGildea]

What were those creatives ingesting while watching Blade runner and writing this? Very interesting - thanks for posting.

[@petevitale73]

Was that Rudy from Hot Dog the movie?

[@ScoopNemeth]

Pete Vitale that does look like that dude all right. John Reger played Austrian villan Rudy in hot dog the movie

[@andrewarmstrong7310]

That was Dodge's way of saying. "Well boys we can't make 1968 HEMI R/T's for you like in your teens, the EPA or NHTSA won't let us do that but we can make this for you in your late 30's."

[@gunslinger-bs8ck]

They could have put a 318 In it instead of having Mitsubishi put a piece of crap FWD V6 in it

[@kevinkiley6503]

@@gunslinger-bs8ck actually the 2.2 turbo Chrysler built engine was used. Yeah, the V6 Mitsubishi was used later on, but the 2.2/2.5 Mopar engines are the fun ones. And the 2.2 turbo would walk all over a 1980’s 318

[@Ian16545]

_Knight Rider_ much?

[@skylinefever]

I would say that the movie Tron had similar amount of influence on that car.

[@pmafterdark]

Have one just like it. 🙂

[@erikhanson2278]

anyone know where to find this song or composer?

[@alexamshel6493]

Dr. Wilson?

[@lincolnparc8897]

[@dcav6]

Thought that was Sully from Commando

[@carlosmata5603]

Ésos sí eran buenos comerciales de autos, no como ahora, antes al ver ésa publicidad deseabas el auto, inspiraba deseo, casi como algo prohibido, no cabe duda de que los 80's era la época de oro.

[@gillianschoenefuhs1819]

the hell did I just watch?

[@Scarlett300C]

An American Revolution.

[@highstreetkillers4377]

I hated that car, i survived my dad and uncle owning one. It was quick but the back seats were cruel and we did alot of walking when it overheated

[@gmln9ne]

Mines caught fire! And I walked away from it and never looked back. Didn't care if it was stolen, towed or impounded, I just completely walked away. This car shamed beyond words time after time lol
