Kinja'd!!!

Found this little MicroMachines-looking thing half-buried in the yard. Thinking it’s a Dodge Daytona.

Sure looks like a scrunched up I-rock to me.

The Daytona had the same spoiler, but was available with the non-popup lights:

I think all the Starions (including the Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth Conquests) had pop up lights (also had a different window shape).

Looks like the right answer to me (or maybe the Chrysler Laser). Can’t find a Micro Machine version though.

I think you’re right. It even has the “vent” lines on the hood.

Sure looks like it. I didn’t even know they made a Daytona Micro Machines.

Yep, an early one, 84-85ish. Maybe a Laser, probably a Daytona. I had an ‘86 Turbo Z, cool car.

Nope, both doors, grille and popup headlights are different. It’s a Dodge Daytona alright.

Could also be a Plymouth Turismo (depends on exact year in the 80s).

It’s a Dodge Daytona. I’m 100% sure.
