I have owned a lot of vehicles since I have been 16 years old, including a Ferrari, a Lotus, a Massarati as well as quite a few older restored muscle cars.

I just acquired a 1999 Ferrari Red Chevrolet Silverado K1500 Z71 and will always consider it the most expensive auto I have ever owned. This was Fathers pride and joy, he simply loved this truck, it has a complete KN intake as well as exhaust system and after driving it over 700 miles yesterday, I understand why he loved it, it really broke my heart when I found the note in the glovebox he left me. He was 75 when he passed and he had the spirit of a youngster, I know I am sure going to miss him.

Rest in peace Dad, know you made a big difference in many peoples lives!

I am driving my dad's 1999 Silverado now. He has severe dementia and hasn't driven in 7 years. Only had around 30K miles on it when I got it.

Nice looking Silverado, sorry it came at such an expense. Hope it gives you peace to have him join you while you're behind the wheel.

It is a beautiful truck. I hope you get a smile everytime you get behind the wheel, and remember the good times you and your father shared.

I know you take care of your vehicles mt and this truck will be no exception with the fondness you have of your father I'm betting this truck will be in future classic auto shows

That's really special and a beautiful truck. When I was a pup my dad bought a '68 Chevy pickup. It was nothing fancy, just an old beater, but I can't count the memories we made driving that thing around the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks and to Scout camp-outs. My brother got it when he reached driving age then it was passed down to me.
