Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
What I'm hoping for is that they redo the 67-72 era similar to how they have the Camaro, Challenger, and Charger. It would be fairly cool to see a new version of our trucks.

When I refer to cars being produced on a cost bias, I am referring to the fact that out factories are willing to pack up and move overseas, to increase their profit margins. Because I'm almost positive that the dude over in Asia somewhere living in a shipping container apartment building doesn't give a damn about having pride in a car or part he is building for that American car company, he's just worried about his $3.70 he's going to earn today. And as far as high speed collisions go, I've been in them in both new cars and old cars (in fact I was in a roll over in a 63 chevy shortbed, rolled 4 times and all I got was a cut on my leg where it hit the bottom of the dash) and I can say it doesn't make a difference what your in, it only matters what you hit and how hard you hit it.

Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
That would be awesome... as long as it doesn't turn out like the hhr, or the ssr... those kinda failed.

Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
Simple technology that a backyard mechanic understands is the main appeal for keeping older vehicles. We don't need expensive dealerships at 100 bucks an hour to diagnose a computer problem. Defensive driving is part of the deal. '64-'66 pickups (most unique styling of any Chevy pickup ever made) are becoming the "next '67-'72". Many ( even members on this site) are jumping back to the pickups that really started it all.

Add to that almost 9,000 SS models over 3 years and you have a quite successful model line. Try to find an HHR SS for short money these days. If it's in decent shape, you are paying a handsome sum for it... If you can even find one. And finding an HHR SS panel that someone is willing to part with, is almost as rare as a unicorn. I would almost say that is going to be one of the great collector cars of the future

I think the ZR-2 version of the S-10 will be a sought after 20 years from now.

Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
Here is my daily driver.
1994 Blazer (last year of the full size blazer, they re-branded them as Tahoes starting in 1995) I bought this rig new and drive it every day to work, trips, camping, hauling etc. 240,738 miles I'm not sure that it will be collectable (like a few of you are saying here) but I can tell you it is a solid, dependable rig. I can't imagine ever getting rid of it. It's all original and looks and drives like new! LIKE A ROCK ! |

On newer modern technology: yes, safer, until your electronic control gismos fail while driving or your air bag goes off unexpectedly.

Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
It may very well be, it really is a very cool vehicle. Pretty surprising they actually made such a thing actually, put a whole new chassis and suspension under an existing vehicle, it's usually the exact opposite. ...but the ZR-2 will never be the next 67-72, parts for these have been either expensive or hard to come by almost from the beginning. The ZQ8 equipped S-10s and Sonomas are also very cool, although mine throws a "you won't be passing your smog" code every 2 years like a clock.

Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
The dealer my mom got her hhr from wanted to buy hers for a good price because of how popular they were, personally its not to bad of a car, drives like a go cart that's about it. As for recalls with how much technology is crammed into these cars and you may not think it but anything can go wrong, even the new ford ecoboost mustangs had recalls. I just pray my car isn't one of them, already had to get a coil pack replaced before I hit 9000 miles. As for the next 67 to 72, we might be seeing more 73 to 87 and the s10s would prolly get more love too, I know I miss mine alot.

Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
I hope that the 67-72 trucks are as desired as they are now. I gave up my 72 Longhorn before I could really get stared on it good. Kick myself everyday for that. I also have a 2003 Z71 Off Road stepside with the 4.8, great truck but, the step sides are plastic, gauge cluster dont work, and the cats need to be gutted. My 2001 Sonoma is cool, hauls ass , takes a corner at 60 without a sweat, and rides like a car.
I guess you could say I got different trucks for whatever mood im in.

Trucks like the GMT400's don't have the numbers problem and many of the younger guys have good memories of them as kids. That is what got many of us 67-72 fans started

Re: Whats the next "67 to 72"??
All regular cab shortbed GM Trucks will always be desired as more than just another truck. There will never be another 67-72, 60-66, 55-59, 47-55, 41-47, etc. They have all been loved and cherished through time and you can't go by the fact that more people have caught on to all of them more in recent years than ever. It's nothing new, just a whole lot of people have opened their eyes and bought what has been out there all along. There are many factors, such as internet, magazines, TV coverage, reproduction parts support, and just good old monkey see-monkey do. Once you see something and you like it you want it.

Let me correct you, point by point.
Look, I like the old trucks for their simplicity, and the fact I don't give a **** if someone dents mine, but they aren't better, they are just cheaper to maintain. My problem is that almost every thing you said was just wrong. You need to do some research. I'm glad you survived your rollover, but you were incredibly lucky. |

Here, let me fix that for you. The younger set has resigned itself to fixing the ****ed up situation your generation has gotten us into. . This board sounds like a barber shop half the time, with ignorant old men *****ing about how "things were better" while the current generation is funding their retirement, and the old guys are the ones that drove us into this debt, let our infrastructure fail, and then complain people today are lazy. I'm 34, have worked since I was 14, worked my way through 1 bachelors and 2 masters degrees. Picked up a blue collar trade when my field collapsed in the early 2000's and moved back into white collar when I was able. I am not alone. Young people tend to be more realistic and thusly disillusioned because they realize they have been dealt a **** hand. The American dream your generation was promised is nearly unobtainable for a lot of my generation. I bet back when you were working a blue collar job you had a pension, and health insurance, and a college education was affordable. |
