: : WRONG!! Any good mechanic knows the following: In regard to American cars built in the '60s and '70s, Mopar is the undisputed king in terms of performance, and Ford is the undisputed king in terms of reliability. General Motors products are poor in both areas. Whether they be Buicks, Caddies, Chevys, whatever, they simply need far too many repairs to be compared to a Ford, and unquestionably lack the performance&unparallelled engineering of a Chrysler product. The very fact that anybody is actually gullible enough to believe that any General Motors product rules anything except for a junkyard is proof of why the Japanese have been able to beat up on us economically. If more Americans could just have the sense to recognize our finest products&give them an edge by purchasing them&shunning the rest of the "junk" that is out there, maybe Japan would not have been able to beat up on us economically. In short: As long as we have people who actually believe that Chevrolets rule, other countries will continue to beat up on us economically. If we could all just back our finest products as a unified force, than we could make sure that the greatest country on earth, the good old U.S.A. is forever #1!!
: Well...
: Okay, I've always heard that Ford makes the best trucks and Chevy makes the best cars. My experience shows the opposite. I am quite happy with my Comick (and have owned both a Camero and a Dodge Aspen, neither of which was terribly reliable, but I also have a 67 Chevy Truck with 1/2 million miles on it and still going strong. My junkyard has about 2 dozen Ford Trucks, 6 Mopars, and only 2 Chevy Trucks. I also see alot more old Chevy trucks on the road.
What part of the world do you live. If you see more Fords in the junk yard then Chevy's it is because there are more Fords sold then chevy's and people have to keep their chevy longer because they are to stupid to releize that they don't have a good mood of transportation. Besides thies is a MAVERICK/COMET page not a chevy page so kiss off.
