I'm actually considering one for a project car.

Nothing like a Superbird (there's a very good reason that wing is there 3 decades before the dreaded riceboy movie came out).

I'm a big fan of TE Corolla's and RA Celica's...

Mazda RX3 would be another great, but I couldn't find a pic.

I'll bend the rules and vote for the DeLorean, too:) Even though the car started selling in 1981, design and prototyping began in 1974. DeLorean pioneered impact-absorbing body materials, lightweight composite construction, safety innovations (such as knee bolsters, dual airbags, etc...) as well as flush windows and recessed wipers. Some pretty cool stuff that lives on in cars today:thumbsup:
