Not a car, but I'm working on the antique fire truck show I went to last summer:
You have found 1981 Sutphen here

Lastly for now I caught a glimpse of this from the front view of the house and it looked like a kit car.

That one is a 1978-1979 Chevy Malibu (panning down the street you can see the 1979 taillights). There is a another one to the right, that looks like a 1981 model.

i was just about to link the same car !
( but also found a different 1983 with a different top.. )

Definitely a Celica. And that top is not the normal top.

It does look like the style top used before Toyota officially offered a convertible by ASC. Here is a 1983 ASC conversion with that style top:

Resembles a 3rd gen. Celica but I'm not sure about that top.
