Mainstream truck buyers don’t want wild and crazy designs. They want tasteful design, utility, and ease-of-maintenance. Ram has provided all 3. The new GM trucks are ridiculously overstyled.

If Ford wants to stay ahead, or GM wants to get back in the game, honestly, retro is the way to go. Straight lines, classic…

I read this as a love letter to the GMT400, and in that light, it’s probably your best work. 

Man. Jefri makes Hefner look downright puritan, eh?

300/400 in a C4 is damn fast. 

Somewhere, in a dark room, George R. R. Martin nods in approval.

People? I think that they meant to say ‘person’ and that’s still wrong. 

Decades later and they’re STILL putting that piece of shit G80 locker in???

I’d kill for a Starion/Conquest in nice shape. I’d pay good cash for one.

However, 11,500 is a bridge too far for a yellow one with a suspected bonehead owner who seems to ‘know what he has’. 

I guess I’ll be the first to say - I like it. 100000x better than anything else GM has come up with lately.

The non-Z71 versions are fine. Better than the Silverado and Sierra by far. No lines that don’t match, no silliness.

But the Z71. JEEEESUS. WTF.

Still seems like anecdotal evidence. I think I’m going to need more. 

How do you know, though?

I’m not saying it isn’t, I’m just saying all things being equal if you’re trying to get museum-quality money, the museum-quality car should be bought first rather than the high-mile resto job. 

I like you. We should be friends. 

You should go back and read the joke again. 

It’s your money, do what you want, I guess. But I guess I just can’t wrap my mind around throwing that kind of money away on a depreciating asset, especially considering you can get a nicely equipped used truck that does the exact same job for a tenth of the price. We’ve long reached the diminishing returns tipping…

There lies a special seat in hell for civvies who drive repurposed police cruisers. Come on down. 

The difference is that the ones you linked are all low-mileage survivors. The ad here is for a high-mile car with a refreshed paint job. That car should never bring more money than a clean, low-mile, well kept survivor.

A deeply conflicted CP for me. Gorgeous car. An icon of its time. Manual. Clean as a whistle. A wonderful example of an SHO, which are near impossible to find anymore.

That said, 132,000 miles and 7 grand.... I’d be NP’ing this all day if it was a 32,000 mile car, but that’s high miles regardless of age, and you don’t…
