a 7000 mile original i'd expect to see the original clamps hoses manifolds sparkplug wires etc

this has all original clamps and hoses that have the gm stamping on them except the fuel line that was replaced by them when they changed the carb to try and get it running before they found it was locked up

that is exactly what i was thinking i do not care if it was 1 million miles i will probally put the 402 in it anyway so the miles would not matter then anyway. i would like to put the tilt,tach402/400 in it then get the buckets from another member and drive it who cares about miles or original parts then it would have everything perfect then in my opinion

[QUOTE=VA72C10;4997266]...

I find it funny/annoying that everyone immediately bashes and tries to disprove any truck that's posted claiming low mileage.



AGREED- I have a 40,XXX original car that USUALLY garaged, but spent it's life On Long Island NY so it's FAR from mint.
I also have a 1990 35K Dodge cummins truck that no paint at all left on it.

Yes there are 100,000 mile trucks cleaner than yours, but it's no matter. Get around this long enough and see or hear about all the restamps and clones. Thre is a lawyer in my area that advertises for helping you with your fraud case and the funny thing is I know he owned a 70 Nova car of mine that WAS a fraud!
MAKE IT WHAT YOU WANT- AND ENJOY IT- Good luck and GREAT FIND!

$2,000 !! Documented or not, I'll give you your money back right now. :lol: Heck of a find in my opinion.

too much stuff 11-08-2011 10:22 AM

Re: 71 garage find stored since 73
 
No matter if it is or isn't the real deal, you did good on that one. You can see the cheyenne emblem and lower chrome have nice color yet like a truck that hasn't seen the sun for awhile. I like the cheyenne package with a 3 on the tree!

I can help you get it unlocked. I unlocked a 67 Cougar that had sat since 73 not running.
Give me a call. I private messaged you.

I have to say it looks like a legitamate low miles truck to me.
The poster has a lot of evidence to show that it is period for 73.

I understand where you guys are coming from with the scratches on the dash but it looks like that truck was used for storage over the years, the scratches could be from cramming things in and out of the passenger floor board for the last 40 years.

It is a really well customized truck for being driven only 2 years though, well worth $2000.

It looks like a fantastic project! I look forward to future updates on this Black Beauty.

I don't understand why it's so heavily corroded. Acid rain?

Regardless, I'm green with envy. Hell of a deal for $2k.

heh, paid a lot more for a lot less. :)

You have a great deal there at any mileage.
Good luck!

Super nice find! Low miles or not, there is no rot on that truck. You will make out like a bandit when you sell it. Congrats!
