Our newest vehicle (other than one of the motorcycles) is a 1989. Hubby loves working on the older vehicles and they all run great. My every day vehicle is a 1988 Silverado. I have 195k on it and we've done very little to it. Needs tires and a tune up and hubby plans to do a little rust repair on her next summer. He's too busy playing with his 1983 pickup right now. Parts are cheap and the junkyard has a lot of what we need just a few miles down the road.
