It just depends on what part of the country you live. Here in TX, real patina trucks are running around after the 88-98 series. I've seen several faded & surface rusted 02-03's.

My 90 was original patina. Now it's faux patina up front (blended @ the doors) & real patina for the rest as a result of a collision in Nov 2015....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
