I had one - bought it new. I don't know about being a "classic" but with a few cheap eng mods that thing will scream off the line.
Also, if it has the bucket seat option you'll be amazed how comfortable they are. They were THE most comfortable seats I have ever had in any vehicle.
It was a good truck overall. Pulls like a train although the trans didn't have a lock up converter and would add a lot of heat to the coolings system when towing. That can be remedied with a rebuild and/or swap to a newer 48RE trans and controller.
It worked fine for the weight is was spec'd for though.
We really enjoyed that truck. Heck, I'd probably still have it if it had a big back seat for our son.
