Not sure why, but the link you posted goes to the discussion forum instead of the article... https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...me-of-80s-cool should go to the article with the discussion at the bottom of the page.

Idk, it's a mixed bag. I had the Formula out a couple weeks ago, and really didn't appreciate all the rubbernecking. Took a good twenty minutes to figure out people weren't staring offensively. I'm kind of missing flying under the radar, honestly...

I mean doesn't that come with the territory of an old/older car in general? The fewer there are the more they stand out. I would think the case is the same for a Pinto, Cordoba or Pacer.
