Pic request - 80’s style paint jobs and graphics

Hi all,

I was hoping a few of you might have a few pics stored away of 80’s style custom paint jobs and graphics on 911’s and 930’s.

Thinking multi colour side stripes and the like (offset against those fat gold BBS wheels...).

Please post away and come for a trip down 80’s memory lane.

Ps. Period race car schemes too!

If you try not to look directly at the front end, the rest of the car is pretty rad:

Love that array of back shelf speakers. Bet they blasted some Scorpions, "Rock You Like a Hurricane". John

Oh my God. That is awesome beyond all words. I am in full agreement with @jjeffries- That shelf can clearly take, "Rock you Like a Hurricane" to 11.

BB did a sweet Targa though I think it's from the 70s not 80s.

Technically late 70s, but I did a John Player Special livery on my targa:

I do love some throwback decor/livery on a 911.

Thanks guys, keep em coming.

The last pic of the targa is funny. That livery is a copy of my safari cabriolet, which I copied from a Cool n Vintage defender!

First says 80's. Especially the slant nose.

The 2nd is from a classic 80's movie "Bachelor Party". Starring a young Tom Hanks and pre-plastic surgery Tawny Kitaen. (Commence with the eye bleaching)
