Those are nice brother! I'd like to have an old Bronco!

Me too man, like a late 70s or early 90s full size

Great car, my personal favorite from that era though was my 1964 Buick Riviera. Great engine and when the muffler got torn off in a pot hole and I replaced it with glass packs coming out under the doors my neighbor 5 doors down said they used my starting the car to go to work as their alarm clock.

Excellent choice, I think we can all agree that 1969 was a great year and I think it's the only year that I like both brands equally.

I don't know if we can be friends anymore... ROFL

Sure we can! We just have to take separate vehicles lol

I remember , as a child, riding with my Grandpa in a 1969 Thunderbird with a 429 motor. We kept saying " Step on it Grandpa!" He finally did (we were in the middle of Oregon's high desert). That's my earliest memory of being pressed back into my seat by significant excelleration! Around 40 years ago.

Sorry, left out the 429 motor at first.
A significant detail!

There's no such thing as a cool Chevy Kevin. :)

You got me thinking. I have no idea how many cars I've owned but I just realized that I've only owned one Chevy, my first, driveable, car a 58 Chevy Bel-Air. I had a 60 Valiant at the same time but it had a blown engine and ended up being way too much work to consider fixing.

I feel attacked lol, my work van is a chevy and I love it

Although it is true that Chevrolet does not export to Cuba because of what Fidel stole, they can get some aftermarket parts or have a relative send them, but the only thing left of most of those Chevys is the bodywork, almost all the parts are adapted or from other brands.

That just shows you how creative and what problem solvers the Cuban people are, they used products for decade after decade while under such oppression. We could learn a lot there in today's throw it away and buy again mindset

My daily driver is a 2006 silverado.
I've also had a 1963, 1976 and 1995 silverado.
My 95 had a 454 and could pull a tree out of the ground.

I'd drive a 50s Chevy anything! Dangit... My Ford stance is wavering under pressure lol

Cam that is awesome man! You deserve that. You've worked really hard for this.

I've also had 2 Ford Rangers which were good little trucks.
My wife has a 2016 explorer with the eco boost and it's the fastest car from 0 to 60 I've ever driven.
So far it's the only car/truck/vehicle I've never had a problem with.

 

[kingranch2003]

I will agree with Mr Seger that Chevys do in fact perform....like a rock. :)
