What's safe from the crusher and what's not?

Hello again. I've been saying things in regards to saving cars built in the 1980s since October just to reflect on the passion all in this blog. For those who have just got onto this blog, let me rephrase what this blog is all about.

This blog Save The 80s Cars is dedicated to getting people to consider cars built in the 1980s to keep them going and to acknowledge them as game changers in their era. In the 80s, we were getting over our second oil crisis and our economy went into a recession. But car manufacturers have started building smaller economical cars because not only they served their function but they're cheap to buy.

But now, we see these cars sitting in paddocks, wreckers yards and metal recycling depots rusting away never to be driven again. So far, there are many car lovers around the world who dedicate themselves to restoring run down cars to their former glory. What they've achieved is the things they do can be done so why can't we fix up the 80s cars?

I have asked a few people whether 80s cars should be kept as classics and I received mixed answers. Although a few said it isn't possible, the people who said these cars should be kept as classics agree and one said if we don't, we would never see those cars ever again. But that's the wrap up so we shall move on.

What I have is a list of cars after some quick research which are plentiful and have good resale values. With these cars, they may still be in good condition and hopefully looked after. And doing so will make any car work in tip top condition and keep going in the long run.

The list of cars are the following.

But what cars aren't safe from the crusher? Let me put it this way. Other cars popular in the 1980s such as Ford Lasers, Mazda 323s, Nissan Pulsars, Bluebirds, Toyota Camries, Coronas and Corollas plus many other passenger cars with 4 cylinder engines.

We don't have to be saddened but with some mechanical know-how, they could be fixed up to be good as new.

Well I hope you like it and as for me, i'm done for the time. Thanks guys!
