How about some mention of cars from 1980's that have (even if all that is left are some pics and magazine articles)?

Let's hear them

Dumper to start?

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.
