These are 70's I know but as you say, they were popular all through the 80's too.

930 Turbo, guards red...



Merc SEC with aftermarket snakeskin and gullwing doors...





Comedy stretched W126




Before cheap finance and "aspirational brands" every PH "what car" thread would be asking which version of this was best...



Definitive 80's supercars - they've still got it!
