I never moved past the 70's, the 80's don't exist in my world. Cars, culture, hair, music- no 80's  There was culture in the 80s ?? Ummm, madona wanna be mall rats is cultrue? Picked this up 83 with 95k on the clock, daily driver for at least 15 years / 200,000 miles. Been parked in "I'll get back to it" condition for about 10 yrs. I tried buying a few things Detroit was pushing but just couldn't.

Mid '80s I had a '76 Regal and my '72 Skylark that we'd put a 455 in. Still have the Skylark, traded the Regal for a '74 Nova.

My 80’s vehicle. Geez I loved my ‘79 Adventurer 150! 318/727 factory a/c. Here it is in high school parked next to the gym. 80's pic so not so clear.

The 80s started on an interesting note. March 1, 1980 I broke my back, but that one stupid move on my part led to my meeting my wife, moving to Silicon Valley, buying our '68 GTS convertible, having two sons, and making several lifelong friends.
Late in 1980 I bought my first Barracuda, a 1966 Commando, four speed, disc brake, and handling package car that was NOT a Formula S.
After we got married (May 1, 1982) we bought the GTS (January 26, 1983)
Bought our first new car mid-December 1985 (1986 Reliant)
Bought and flipped a 1964 300K (the only car I really wish I could have kept that I sold)

I had a few cool rides in the '80's, ordered a notchback 5.0 5-speed Mustang in '87, had a few other interesting cars in that decade, only a few Mopars and none of them all that noteworthy. It was really the decade I was working my ass off to get somewhere so not a lot of play money. I did buy & sell a lot of cars just to generate cash but I don't really count those. I've been rocking the '69 LeSabre since 1981 and still have it. A Gulf blue 1971 911 was my single-guy daily driver. Sold it when I got married in '84 to free up some money. My wife recently mentioned that I should get another one like it so I showed her what they are going for now$$$$. That won't be happening... What happened to that young ladies' knees?

My high school ride was my mom's Aspen wagon and then had a '75 Newport in '82 and '83..then in '84 I bought a '69 300 convertible, from my dad's co-worker at Chrysler Corp. Used it as a daily driver for the first two years, then brought it to a local body shop for a restoration. Kept it until around late 1992. The rest of the 80's, I had a 1969 Dart, 1983 2.2 Turismo, a '79 300, and a '79 D250 2WD club cab long bed..."Big Green". My brother currently owns the '69 300.

My first car was a hand-me-down 64 Impala I got around 81. Step dad bought it brand new and the thing was cherry. It was also a 4 dr, 6 cyl, 3 tree. The worst part about that was no syncro for 1st gear which means ya gotta be at a dead stop to down shift it. Interesting on steep hills.
The Red is 94 Viper red. The RC is Sable Sunfire Metallic. Todays "driver" will be this one that I rattle canned Inferno Red:
