I have a couple questions.

Fire away......total gearhead here , old school.

What ya got ?

I got one for ya Crager,,,,,,how come the first gen mustangs are not worth much unless supper special?

I got this one for you Vinke. Its because an early Mustang is nothing more than a Falcon with different sheet metal, a car which was made for the no frills masses.

"vechile"


Couldn't help myself. I'll see myself out...

I believe it was created to compete originally with the nova and others.
I do like a sexy falcon.
There is a 63 for door with 36,000 mile. Original plastic still on the seats. Sitting in a garage on the farm.
Sure with it was a 2 door,,,,, but it will make a cool slammer someday

Go eat you turkey ehhhh

I actually kinda like having turkey day ahead of the regular rifle season for deer LOL, but it's not for a couple weeks yet.

Back on topic now

They made piles of them. 64 1/2 , 65 , 66
Several million made. One of Lee Iacocca's success stories. They sold so good that those first 3 years was more manafactuered than the next 10-15 years after combined. Plus they were built good and survived. And yes , it was designed from the Ford Falcon.

Is there an era that makes them classic or the age of the vehicle?

I think it mostly refers to it's age.
Generally , anything 20-25 years old is considered a classic.
There are many eras of cars like muscle cars , post war , brass era and antique.

Okay, next question, I picked up a ‘95 Ford F150 as a beater truck, it’s in pretty good shape, is there a chance it could be more valuable as a classic?

Not in my eyes

I got a question for all of you is a el Camino a truck or car???

Beauty is all in the eye of the beholder. To some yes , to others , no.
I never thought that an AMC pacer would be a desireable car , but after the movie ' Wayne's World ' came out there is a group of people looking for those cars to restore them.

Seen a video of a guy with a Griswald queen family truckster reproduction that looked kinda cool. Even had the dog leash dragging off the back bumper.

Never thought that a Pinto , Maverick , or a Gremlin would be worth saving but there are people who covet them.

Our Australian friends call that a UTE.
I owned one once , fun fact , unlike a pickup truck the front of the bed is sealed and has no water drains on that side. I worked at a Chevy dealer when they were still sold. We for laughs take one and park it on a incline , nose down. Put a hose in the back and fill it with a about 12" of water. Then back the car up and come zooming down and hit the brakes hard. Huge gush of water goes flying.

Watch the Barrett/Jackson auctions on TV. Pretty interesting seeing what people find is worth their time and money to restore.

Here is an enjoyable movie car commercial for walmart promoting easy pickup. 1:31



Now , here is the challenge for the car geeks , at the very , very end of the commercial 1:28 you will see an ordinary red/white Ford pickup park in the quick pick up spot. It is kinda famous. Why ?

I’ve never been much of a blue oval fan but I haven’t been back to Government Motors since they became that.

This happened to be one of those deals you’re afraid to pass on more than you’re afraid of the brand.

Thanks for the input folks!
