Are people restoring cars and trucks from the ‘80’s and ‘90’s?

don’t hear much about the 80’s cars getting this treatment

why would anyone want to?

I doubt it, at least not at the same levels as earlier cars. The 80s is when electronics really started being heavily used in vehicles, and trying to replace those are going to be severely cost prohibitive.

I actually just watched a VIN Wiki video last night about this. Talked about some of the "newer" cars that are likely to jump up in value in the coming years.

C4 Vettes, OBS Chevy trucks, fullsize Broncos, clean fox bodies were some of the things this guy thought were good "investments" as they could still be gotten relatively cheap and should soon start seeing upticks in value.

I have restored my '84 Chevrolet truck to about 90%

Yes I’m aware of people restoring square body Chevys from that era as well as Jeep Wagoneers, MJ Comanches, and XJ Cherokees.

The 80s, and to some extent, the 90s are considered the low point of car design and manufacturing

I've spent close to 100k restoring a 95 Saturn S Series

80's cars were junk!

I had a 92 Silverado that I kept around because it had sentimental value. It looked like a piece of shite but still ran good. I would occasionally get unsolicited offers from people for it. I finally sold it to a Chevy dealer who fixed it up really nice and used it as a utility driver for the dealership.
