What year is the cutoff to be considered classic?

 

[Chooglin]

I am thinking 25 yrs. But if you have a BA car , post it !

02 Thunderbird
On Route 66
It may not be classic by some but to me it's my classic.

Almost every vehicle I own has over 200k miles on it. Does that make them classics? Lmao. What about used to own? Had a 66 vw bug and a 71 bus. Both customs. I'll have to dig up old photo bucket files for pics

Got an old '67 F100 with 44,000 original miles. Was my grandfather's, he bought it new.

That is a super cool story. I'll have to check it out sometime.

Thanks guys, I use every now and then. It has a 100 gallon diesel tank and pump in the back and a metal drum I use for buying ethanol free gas 50 gallons at a time. Granddaddy said to use and not let it sit up. So it makes fuel runs.

With a FE352 engine, it ain't no slouch either. Not a speedster, but 208 HP was prob decent for a pickup back then.

If that makes it a classic then I'm like you and own ALL classics!

Is that the police interceptor 352?

Yep! 208hp in the truck but quite a bit more for the police interceptor package. I think around 300hp.

I bet truck motor had higher lift cam (more torque). You owe me a ride in it since you brought it up lol. I love the smell of those old trucks. My first was a 65 Chevy long bed. All those trucks smelled the same lol. Mixture of vinyl, gas and oil.

Not a mopar among em, what gives? Or that's why you don't have them anymore? Haha!

True! I have had a few, a 77 camper van, 78 shorty van with a 440, 87 slant 6 cargo van with a custom interior and a 91 3/4 ton van custom conversion.

I was wondering the same thing @Tflynn. Mopar man he's a very complicated guy!

Not really lol. Nothing Ford newer than 1980. Nothing chevy past 82, and nothing foreign at all. Honda power sports have nearly always been American, so they get a pass

 

[moparornocar]

Most of my mopar have been newer though. In the 104 cars I've owned since I was 16 at least 80 of them have been mopar. I think that qualifies
