What Model Make and Year would you like to see in cars or trucks? To come back.

I looked around and didn't see any thread about this so I am sorry if there is another one made already. I was wondering if anyone out there would like to see a certain year model and make of a car or truck to come back? I have a thing for F150xlt with 8ft bed From the year of 96' , especially the red ones. I would love to see them come back and a few other kinds of trucks also. What is your favorite truck or car? To come back.



This photo is not mine but its something I would love to find and buy.

In my mind, the square body Chevrolet is the best truck that anyone's ever built. I'd love to see new ones, but my 1987 will have to do.



For cars, two have really stood out to me: The 1998-2004 Audi A6 (Especially the wagon), and the mid 1990s LeSabres.

So, I'm not the only American Motors fan on here....

The AMX is absolutely gorgeous, but I'd have the Matador Coupe (I sort of backed myself into that one!)

For me I would love to see the 1958 Ford F500 with 292 and 4 speed brought back. I had three and wish I still had them even if they were just sitting in the yard taking up space (I know that wouldnt get by you since you said no more school buses or commercial trucks in the yard unless going right to the scale)

Sorry picture isnt the best it was taken back in Sept 2006 at the Waite Maine lot.

Anything carburated, forget this efi junk. I have my reasons why.

I've never actually had an EFI problem. My 1986 Dodge is a pain to start with the 4bbl, but it'll get going eventually. My 1987 Chevrolet (With a TBI 305) starts with the first turn of the key- even if it's sat for a couple of months.

I prefer the EFI trucks, but that's all I really want in terms of engine controls. A Vortec 350 is perfect, but a TBI will get the job done just fine.

I don't have a photo of it, but I own a 1995 F150 Flareside (Like this):


Mine has the 300 I6, which I would recommend against. The fuel mileage isn't much better than our K3500 crew cab, but there is almost 100hp less. The carb'd 300s were torque monsters, but the EFI ones weren't as torquey. I've never owned a Ford truck with a 302 or a 351, but they would likely be a better choice.

You feel like you sit up higher more than you do in a GM. The interior is the weak point in my mind. I much prefer the setup of the 1987-1991 Fords. The exteriors (Especially on the F150s) were the best generation of F150 in my mind.

I'm a GM and Dodge guy, but I'd own a V8 version of the truck. I wouldn't have another 300 though- the 3.9L in our 1992 Dakota actually puts out more horsepower, and it's an entire liter smaller.

Don't get me started on Dodge Dakotas, though. in my mind, nothing comes close to the 1990s ones....

Hey do you remember the member from the left coast that had the old Chevy custom that he used for scrapping?? That was laid out cool. There's pic's of it somewhere here.

That is a very straight truck!
