Pretty cool. The one under the carport looks perfect! The two look identical except for the condition. I suppose it's nice to have a complete parts car, when replacement parts are rare. Love the center vent, and the rims. The rear looks a lot like a Capri. Turbo Z...following the 80s rule to add a weird letter to make something cool. (EXP, XT, etc) Love the pop ups on the 3rd Daytona...you got pictures, right?
oh hellz yeah, the turbo z and what looks like a standard turbo model. these were some of the coolest looking import fighters of the 80's. they supposedly made an AWD V8 one off called the Daytona Decepzione. it had the V8 from the Lambo Jalpa and all wheel drive from Shelby. they gave it the ca bosh after they found out the max clearance of the oil pan from the road was an inch and a half, engine was too tall supposedly. wish I could find a good pic of it. you guys should see if you can find a turbo caravan with the 5 speed in it next, that would be amazing.
A Turbo Caravan-well, Voyager is featured in this OPC post: http://www.oldparkedcars.com/2011/06/unforgettable-pair-1988-isuzu-i-mark.html Badass Daytonas, the one in the grass is the parts car I bet.
My sister had one of these. It looked way cool and I always wanted to drive it. Finally got to drive it, and the clutch was the stiffest thing I'd ever dealt with. It wasn't hydraulic so you had to press down with crazy pressure to engage it. Can't say I would want to take it in traffic. It also had some serious turbo lag, though in my opinion I always thought that was pretty fun.
The Daytona at the top of the post is an early production car, probably early 1984 (4 lug wheels). The next Daytona is later production (5 lug wheels). I'd go for the later one, there were some improvements between the two. Fun cars, to be sure...
Best of OPC.

Looks like the owner is starting a Geo collection too. The Daytona in the last picture has to have been made between '87-'91. Nice find!
The doors look very Delorean-ish, wouldn't you say.
perfect color combo. red-gray. this particular combo color was very popular for this gen. of daytona turboZ

i'm so glad i'm not this guy's neighbor.
although i admit i'm always tempted to photograph geos of that era.
those are some old parked cars.
