Lots of magazines from the 80s and 90s if anyone needs scans of period ads or articles....yes GRM gets the top shelf. there's another full cabinet next to it

Ever search CL with <$2k the only criteria?

$700.

Not fishy at all! Dont ask questions, no title. The PO of that thing spent quite a bit of time in the "ricer garbage" isle of the FLAPS.

I would've bought the hell out of that!

Exactly.

Thank you. You're awesome.
I would assume for the BMX portion, it wouldn't apply to the Challenge budget?
OOOOF, my childhood is expensive....

I’ve been searching for an 80’s freestyle bike too. You’re definitely correct about them being expensive...
radwood eligibility questions that the answers won't really matter but i'll ask anyway:
1. 1990 325is? when i think radwood i think '82 - '88, but E30 came out in '84 IIRC so i'm leaning towards yes.
2. 1998 Z28? it's a 4th gen, which launched for the '93 model year. and because it's a face-lifted 4th gen, it's also an LS1, which i definitely think is too modern for radwood.
In reply to AngryCorvair :
RADwood is extremely subjective. I do however, agree with your notions on both of those examples.

OTOH, try building those for less.
When I hit my BMX nostalgia phase 11 or so years ago, I was astounded at the price some of the parts were pulling; let alone complete bikes. Made me happy to be building a "lesser" label bike!
So how does 90s era motorsport fit into the Radwood vibe?
I’m brainstorming a rally car tribute theme involving an Escort (the Ford economy car, just so we’re clear :P) which I think should fit the idea but, never having been to the GRM challenge or a Radwood event I wanted to get some opinions.
In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon :
I mean, how long have people been painting their street cars to look like Dale's black #3? Surely that started in the 90s, so I think 90s car + 90s motorsport tribute livery = eligible.
BTW there will hopefully be multiple Ford Escort LX-E challenge cars next year.

Yeah, legit "premium" '80s BMX bikes aren't cheap--and by "premium" I mean pro race frames or top-tier freestyle bikes.
I still have my '83 (or so) MCS Magnum. The reality? Those dropouts look thin. And the top tube is short. Hence why I ride a 22-inch (wheel) bike. Even my 1999 DK ProXL feels too small. And also why I'm into retro bikes--old-school looks but you can ride them. There are a ton of options out there these days.

While it isn’t a bike I’d want to own or ride, this 83 Murray seems like a decent bargain for $250.
You know, can't remember the last time I saw a Murray in the flesh.
Also, fresh kicks just arrived.

That would be awesome!
And these Rad mudflaps will definitely be staying on mine.

Sweet! 
On a different note, I really wish I knew how to get a kei car for challenge money.

Nice socks. I also have a few new pair waiting--you know, for later service.
