The question was if there were any good looking American cars built in the 80s

Uh

Thank you for laying the math smack down


Gt40 was 60s, and the redux was also not the 80s

Picky, picky aren't we?

They're lucky they managed to survive the 80s.

You actually expected me to scroll that far up the page and read the original question? I would've thought you knew me better than that by now…

I'll see your 1980s gen 3 mullet, and raise you a gen 2 1980s mullet.

I graduated hs in 86, my first car was a 1969 Camaro, my biggest rival in the HS parking lot had an 81 z28. I could beat him in a straight line,but he killed me in creature comfort (ac!!), turning and braking.

When I was in the military, I bought a new 1978 Z-28. I loved that car, and to this day it's the only car that I have purchased brand new.

Second gen F-bodies will always be my favorite

 

[Shaggy]

LOVE the 2nd Gen F-body up to ‘73. After that, the front ends went off the deep end. An early gen split bumper is one of my dream cars.

 

[Eldritch]

Still looks like a fugly fox body to me. No sex in the lines on that thing. all squreish angles with no sleeknees rake or curves at all.

What if performance makes your jaw drop?

Why does it need to be so limiting? It could be a great looking car, or one so horrific, or one with mind blowing performance, or one just dreadful. Its just about something shocking, amazing, one someone is in awe over.

Well, I reckon that makes a certain point, but me, I don't trust a performance build until I see it perform for real. You can stick a big dick motor in your custom build, but if you shatter your rear axle every time you floor it, it still ain't shit.

A car that looks like sex, you just know it looks good, you don't have to test that, it rolls up and you can take it at face value.

 

[Eldritch]

maybe? Depends on how much coke you did back then.

That was an Irish Car, Mate. Didin't run for shit, but they did look good. European cars had a lot of nice looking BMW and Italian models in the 80's.

I wish they would bring back the IROC races.

Granted he as from Ireland, but this quote is from Wikipedia.
"John DeLorean founded the DeLorean Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan on October 24, 1975"

This is such the epitome of a white trash mobile. I did like those at the time.

It is bloody Irish, mate, I suppose British if you want to nitpick, but all the same.

"DMC eventually built the DeLorean in a factory in Dunmurry, County Antrim, in Northern Ireland."

I suppose the argument could be made that it was an Irish/Colombian conglomerate...

Yeah, but for having struts and a live axle, they handled pretty well, and the 5.7 TPI engines ran well. The manual trans made them a hoot to drive!

 

[Lucky Jones]

umm... YEAH!

Only 2 pics I have, but, boy howdy!
