Rad '80s Cars That Are Shockingly Affordable Right Now

A new roundup highlights 1980s cars that are unusually affordable right now, arguing that the retro appeal of the decade still draws value while some models can be found for relatively low prices. The article cites a 1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z with an average retail price of $12,450, noting horsepower figures of 220 hp (5.0-liter) or 230 hp (5.7-liter V-8) and pointing to auction examples below $12,000 for certain versions. It then covers a 1985 Buick Grand National with an average retail price just over $12,000, referencing its 200-hp 3.8-liter turbo V-6 and comparing its potential to the more expensive 1987 GNX. The piece includes specific auction pricing for both models and begins a partial list, including the 1986 Toyota Supra.
