Title: make a list of cars from 1980's that DID age well.....
Post by: Jim Ratto on April 16, 2008, 18:37:15 pm

I would have to say many of the current D.K.P. cars too....  Hector, Schwimmer's coral car, Mason's, Rayburns, SARGE's, Kurlinski's, etc...  all were from 1980's

don't forget Dave Rhoads' car too.

I think the gold plating and the suicide doors doom it to the 80s.

Question... are we talking aged in the sense that they are still in great condition or that their styling still looks current and not dated... I've been going with styling.

Stolen and striped in the late 70's , rebuilt back up in running in the early 80's. Still tearin up the strip today, and I'm lovin the way the car looks recently, the BRM are tarnished the paint is dry and dusty, doesn't get much better. Dave Rhoads car is one that I would give my left, no no, right testicle up to own.
