    84-88 is my favorite. These were my high school years and I would have rather had one than a souped up Camaro.

    I found one with a dent in the block when my oldest son was 14 and brought it home as a father/son project. We put 2 years of blood, sweat, tears and money in to her. She was very mechanically sound and was really down to needed the paint before IT happened. Not long after he turned 16, he succumbed to the "big truck" peer pressure so we sold it and bought him a F150 that turned in to a money pit with a horrible loss when we got rid of it.

    I could absolutely choke my son when he tells me he misses it now!!

    First Look:
