I don't know if we own one counts, but here is my 67 Ford F100.  It was bought new by my wife's Grandfather.  I inherited it about 20 years ago when it was not running.  It is now drivable after much work.  Brakes, Shocks, Steering, but it is all original numbers matching other then the American Racing Wheels I put on it.  Just put a new dual exhaust on the 352 V8, as the original finally rotted out.  Now it really sounds good.  I continue to work on different items, hopefully going to send it off to have it put back to it's original colors.  The truck is straight with only surface rust, so it should be a easy paint and restoration back to all it's glory.

It's going to be a really nice looking pickup; especially done back to stock colors, which looked great.  A definite keeper!

I sure hope someone saves that Chevy....it's worth it!  The recliner could use a huge application of Red Green duct tape.

Love the patina on both. Hell, I just love old trucks, period, lol. John, that truck is cool as all get out. I'm diggin it just as she sits. JMHO, I'd leave it with it's original patina. It looks cool like that. People actually pay big bucks to have that kind of paint job put on vehicles. Yours is original, and they're only original once. Leave it as is in memory of your grandpa.💯👍

@geno I have to agree, but my wife disagrees.  She would like to see it again as she remember her grandfather driving it.  So you know the saying Happy wife, happy life.  So we will see.

@carsman1958 I differ from Geno.  Just knowing how awesome it would look restored to fresh original colors really does it for me.  When I look at aged patina I always get this strong urge to buy the car and restore it...lol.  Can a person actually feel sorry for a faded out old car with good bones?  I definitely can!  😥
