Had a bit of a laugh when I found that the table of contents just sort of glossed over the 80's.

It’s like the Grand National never even happened.

Wow! That ain’t right.

The 80s were awesome! SVO Mustangs, Shelby Omnis, Grand Nationals, Iroc Camaros, Formula 350 Firebirds... It was the rebirth of performance.

Totally agree. There are so many cool cars to come out of the 80's.

There were still Hurst/Oldses and Olds 442s that decade, too. Mostly tape stripe packages, but, still, they were there!

The Monte Carlo SS and 442 were insanely popular when I was a kid. In a sea of 70hp FWD claptraps that 180hp G body with a stripe kit was a nice distraction.

That’s my car on the bottom left!

But the lack of an 80's section is so wrong. I can think of so many muscle cars I would love to have then.

I guess their definition of muscle car is something with a V8.. or they got all caught up in the malaiseness of the 80s.
