It's a 1980 model. It's got a 350 motor and a 4 speed manual transmission. It's on sale on craigslist for $1500. According to the owner, it runs good.

(10,418 posts)I'd never own such a vehicle unless I needed it for work. I still find it appealing, though. I'd piss off every environmentalist in the area if I just used that thing to tool around town in.

(130,973 posts)but I tend to be conservative as to acquisitions. I buy FEW things, and hope I'll never have to buy a car again. Driving Dad's '93 Camry wagon, and it does everything I need it to do.
Have fun!

(10,418 posts)My first vehicle was a 1976 Chevy pickup. I've loved old trucks ever since then. I'd love to have that one back as well.

(22,756 posts)(you have great taste in trucks too) I bought a very beat up one for $100.00; a man friend guided me (let me do all work/just advised without criticism) as I put in all new brakes, fixed radiator, painted it and other misc work... that truck took me back and forth between Vermont and Michigan numerous times, transporting sheep on last trip (my crazy days) I LOVED that truck!!!

(10,418 posts)My hell raising days appear to be behind me. A six pack on a Friday night is about as wild as I get now days. I guess getting married can do that to a guy.

Looks pretty good for the age and price.

I thought you were going to get a charger for the house.

(17,621 posts)I'm glad I don't live in CA. The cops out there are just nuts lately.
Tobin S.
(10,418 posts)Well, the guy is going after cops and their families. I'd be scared to death to come to work in California right now if I was a cop.
