If you had to pick a project car from the 80s, What would you pick? I'm not talking supercar or anything. Something cheaper. Lets say, less than $5000 to pick up?

Something that really personifies the 80's. Something maybe a bit more unique?

I'm aware that this post is all over the place, but bear with me.

Why would you buy a project car from the 80s of you didn't know what you wanted?

>>16351265

At what point did I say I bought a project car? And in this made-up scenario, where did I say I didn't know what I wanted?

This is a dumb question, but other than (maybe?) the AMG versions, did they make a standard of this series?

Or it implies I'm interested to see peoples various interests and views of what constitutes a fun 80s project car?

Are you always on the look out for something you can bash someone on? Even if that thing is complete conjecture and assumption with 0 evidence towards your point?
>>
>>16351295
Of course, there's tons of models with different engines. Diesels, gassers, turbo diesels. W126 is just the predecessor of the S Class.

You're late for the 21st century since the design is stuck in the 60's.
the 3.8 is a terrible engine design, albeit a reliable and terrible sounding one.

Yeah, expect electrical gremlins aplenty, and to spend more time sitting in it going "vroom vroom" than driving it. But like you, I don't give a shit. I'm getting one as soon as I have the space for a project car.

It still counts as 80s if production ended in 81, right?
If not, then I'd probably pick a foxbody mustang.
