so we can pretty much rule out the second and third gens. now, 17 year old... i doubt he'd get his hands on a first gen cuz we probably all want one of those. 4th gens are a dime a dozen, so i'm told. and if he spent a lot of money on it, it's probable, especially if he bought it from a dealer because they hack the price up a lot. but anything in fbodies in the year '96 and below shouldn't cost you more than 1000, otherwise you're getting ripped. blue book value on those is also zilch unless it's a 97 and up. there's just too many around to pay a lot of money for those. so if he bought it and he's broke now, and if he's smart, it's gotta be a later 4th gen. Hopefully he didn't blow a bunch of cash on an earlier one. and if he did it better be spectacular. but I'll go with the LT1 bird.
