I like those too.
I was 15, fresh license in 1987..
the mark lincoln was on tv , with a suspension that auto dropped and top speed of 150 mph (limited by america)..
I thought "holy crap. I want one."

I still do, except my locale has abused my taste..and I witnessed an untimeley death, realtime with a ford thunderbird of the same chassis as the mark lincoln in photo..due to a catastrophic front end failure. A strong message is how I took it...to not even get one.
of course, today can fix the dainty things, and the steering rack as pinion etc, there is no need for staying with the faults, just add hot rod heavier stuff. I have seen these in the 10s/.25 mile with turbos and still casual.
