Re: then and now

67-68 front grille would show some family resemblence, but other than that... nope.

Re: then and now

I always thought the older HD (03-06?) resembled the 69-72 hood pretty good but they've moved the windshields so far forward and raked them so much no new truck will ever look like a "classic", just my .02

Re: then and now

I personally don't care for that new one. It's loaded with every feature the lazy man could ever want... but I just see it as being way too ugly. And the sticker was WAY too big... again, my opinion. That sucker is worth more than 1/2 the houses in the town I grew up in.

Re: then and now

considering the sticker was over 50K... I think it'll be more than 14,5 in 7 years.
Hell, you can find a turn key house (dump) here in columbus for that price. I'm sure there's a few non dumps for that much here now that the market has gone soft.

I will stick with my 14,5 guess, ... because I did say (about 14,500), ... about has a couple grand up or down depending.

time flys, so 7 yrs will be here soon and we will see.

Re: then and now

I do like the new ones, but I could never justify a mortgage payment on a vehicle; besides it still won't turn heads anywhere near as much as an old one-even if it was rusted to he!!

With gas prices and everyone trying to unload their SUVs it may be cheaper than that sooner than later.
