After I regurgitated the bagel I just ate, I'm not sure what is worse: the kit, the color or those horrid looking wheels. How could you sell something like that without bringing it to Y2K standards of wheel style! Those puny (albeit expensive in the day) wheels are a caricature of the '80s. Some people's taste is all in their mouth and now I have to go brush my teeth.

"Mary Kay Special Recognition Award" edition car. Interior pics would show the over-sized, surround-lighting rear view mirror for application of makeup but will need intensive shop vac on the driver's seat and floor as it is infused with copious amounts of powder, since '83. No mention of mechanicals or pics of engine as this is a "cosmetic" listing. GLWS.

Hmm, I've seen worse,

Paint job is not a big deal, 18" Carrera wheels and GTS mirrors would make a huge difference.

Actually, if you pause and consider that during the height of the Miami Vice era, this car would have been king ****! And for what it is, a glimpse into the past, I kinda like it. Pink and all.

If the condition is good, this would be a real head turner, for sure. Would I buy it? No. But if I saw it at a show, I'd give it a lot of attention.

Beige is not for everyone, but I really like it. It is a very love it or hate it color.

I'm glad I was too young in the 80's to try and dress like that. Only Don Johnson could pull it off, while driving a Ferrari

Actually, what a scary era for people who try to emulate TV fashion.....

Knight Rider - village people biker look
Magnum PI - yea.....queue the shorts

C'mon, I know a few of you were sportin at lease one of these looks
