It may have been late 80's even. The modded metric Mustang/Capri wheels sure bring back memories:) That asking price is pretty ambitious.

i've got that issue hidden away somewhere... the asking price is insane! you could buy a gull-wing for that kind of coin, well almost...

I can respect the amount of time that took, and I suppose the concept...but man the 80's were hard on cars. :P
