Cars in the 80s
OldiesButGoodies:
What a bad time the 80s were for sports cars (as were the late 70s):

By far the ugliest Mustang ever. Sad, really.
SunnyDaze:
I disagree. The Fox body (79-93) Mustang platform provided an entire generation of gearheads with a body and engine that were easily and highly modifiable, especially the 86-93 EFI cars. Take an '86-'93 Mustang GT or 5.0 LX car, put 3:73 or 4:10 gears in the 8.8" rear end, throw a set of 10 or 12 inch ET streets on the rear wheels, and install a 125 or 150 HP nitrous kit, and you've got a car that runs mid 12's in the 1/4 mile. At the time this was truly unheard of. By comparison, even the "legendary" muscle cars of the late 60's and early 70's were low 14 second cars at best in stock trim (with very few exceptions).
Throw in a few suspension mods and what not and you've got something that looks like this:
Which looks exponentially better than the Mustang II of the late 70's:
Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
You are comparing a front shot to a rear. That 80s Mustang looks like a grandma car.
Oh, and you're wrong about Clapton, too. :P
Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
At least that 70s one has a couple curves around the wheel wells.
