1980's Reborn?

[Pistol Gripper]

All they did around here in the 80's was put shackles on the rear springs, chrome rims and lay 2  6X9 speakers on the back deck.

Sorry, I have to  After the 70's the cars died (as far as muscle) the music died, the women's clothes looked like.............sorry, man I feel sorry for ya younger guys. Now, the 60's and 70's were rocking tire shredding "mamma" likes to dance, just turn on your headlights and play some rock and it's  PARTY TIME .

Are you talking about doing a car with N-50-15's, Cragar SS's, Fender flares, and Thrush Turbos mufflers, that you drive downhill all the time??

Don't forget an Erson sticker in almost every window and free Super Shop t shirts.

That is two sizes too small

You were supposed to give it to the lady of the week.

Actually once I get my butt in gear that's what I'm going to do my Challenger.  Right now it's stock looking on the outside but it still has some leftover stuff from the 70's done by the original owner like

-fuzzy dash
-old fire extinguisher on the tranny hump
-Pioneer 8-track
-fog lights
-trailer hitch, as it was a daily driver and used to pull snowmobiles in New Hampshire
-Keystone Sun Spoke III "wire" wheels ( I actually have factory Magnum 500s on now)




Sorry, I scraped off all the racing stickers except the "Hi-Jackers" bunny sticker.  Will have to relocate those stickers to put the Scat Pack stickers on the rear quarter glass.  It did have air shocks at one point as it has the stickers and air valve in the rear valence still.

Stuff to add, when I have time 

-'71 Go Wing, Gull Wing style
-Keystone Klassics with 275/60R-15 rears
-Mr. Gasket Street Scoop
-possible extra driving lights behind the grill
-Air Shocks

All this is bolt on (except the drilling of the trunk for the wing.) and I'm saving all the parts and what not.   I have an extra hood that was cut up from a tunnel ram set up so my factory hood will not be cut up.  This is just to give the car some personality... sorta Jeckyl/Hyde.

What I remember of 80's muscle...

[Super Blue 72]

These were cool with a variant of the GNX engine.  In this article a bone stock one supposedly does the 1/4 mile in 13.4 seconds.  Not too shabby for the 80's.  It's an '89 20th Anniversary Trans Am with a turbo V-6.

I tought Crazy Pete was talking about muscle cars we OWNED in the '80's, not cars OF the '80's. I too had neighbors and friends that drove firebirds, cameros, mustangs, roadrunners, dusters ect. I had a 70 'Cuda, a '73 Barracuda and a '67 Barracuda. And yes they weren't Barrett Jackson prices too. I think I paid $500 bucks for the '67 Barracuda and about $800 bucks for a 69 Chevelle I drove for a while.   They were affordable then and maybe that's why more people drove them. How about a thread on what we paid for our muscle cars we purchased in the 70's-80's!!

Go for it!  Except there may be a lot of tears and kicking yourself in the butt when you think of the cars you sold for pennies....
