I’ve used the Mobula body in nearly every decade from the sixties up to the 2010’s and I can make it work lol.
It’s highly versatile.
I’m planning on using a variant of the '72 Moore as a basis for my next entry in the series - its angular aesthetic fits right in with the overall vibe of the 80s.
if you want to use a specific body, you can send it to me and i can clear it, we already did that for some 60’s bodies
The 1969 Lobo is a fierce embodiment of raw power and precision engineering, built for those who dare to push the limits. With a mid-engine layout, the Lobo offers perfect balance and handling, delivering an unparalleled driving experience. Under the hood, the 4.5L naturally aspirated V8 roars with 217.6 horsepower and 248.4 lb-ft of torque, ensuring that every press of the accelerator pushes you further into the realm of performance. The engine’s power delivery peaks at 4900 RPM, making the Lobo both agile and responsive on the road.
Designed for the adrenaline junkie, the Lobo’s aerodynamic, sleek exterior is paired with a lightweight steel monocoque chassis and double wishbone suspension, giving it superb handling while maintaining the perfect weight distribution. Its RWD setup and manual gearbox offer a true connection between car and driver, while the aggressive styling hints at the car’s personality—ruthless, unyielding, and always ready to strike.
Reaching a top speed of 141 mph and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds, the Lobo is engineered to make a statement, whether on the open road or at the racetrack. With a fuel economy of 10.8 mpg, the Lobo is built for performance, not for compromise. This is a car for those who crave the thrill of driving and the power to back it up.
With a sleek design, mid-engine precision, and a punchy, high-revving V8, the Lobo is the perfect balance of style and muscle—fast, aggressive, and built to leave an unforgettable impression.

Gotta be honest, I don’t really see the point of restricting body age backwards, AFAIK the stats balance out pretty well and the game does tend to have bodies unlock early.

Bodies age out, and wouldn’t make sense in an era design challenge, you choose a body not matching the era. But to be fair as there will always be exceptions in real world, I’m open to discussion if someone wishes for a specific body for their car.
I don’t really see why you would restrict bodies backwards in age at all. There are amazing modern builds in the 1946 swinger body after all. If someone can make the car look new then let them by all means.
Specifically the mobula and the similar fiesta based sedan body looks fine for 80’s and even early 90’s

1962 Hexe Magdalena Mark I
A light sports car made for the ultimate pleasure of driving.
Lightweight fiberglass panels wrap around steel monocoque to create this sub 600 kg car. Under the hood there is a 1.6L Inline 4 engine making 78 kW. Enough to propel this car to 100 km/h in 7.5 sec. But it’s not about speed, it’s about driving pleasure and Magdalena Mark I is focused on that. 5-speed manual and RWD are all you need to relax driving around on twisty roads on Saturday afternoon.
