A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

This is not my Truck......But are you ready for this? This factory virtually untouched beauty belongs to a 80's plus woman, I've lived here in A town for 21 years and only seen it a hand full of times, mostly glimpses of a grey headed woman driving in our small town. About 5 years ago I discovered were she lived, not too far from me, her garage was always closed and I respected her privacy, until today, when I saw it at a mechanic shop, I couldn't resist and went crazy with the camera, so excitedly, saying to myself don't forget the SPID, but to my surprise, the SPID had been removed, but the pic's speak for themselves. Of course the rumor in town is, It's not for sale for any price according to her son, who will inherit it...... I wonder if he can be bought?

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

What... no engine pics??? ;)
That sucker does look clean. Only the wheels look to have been replaced.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

I had a similar situation...when I was on my way to school one day...8th grade...saw a 57 Bel Air converitble in a driveway....never had seen it before...and never saw it again out of the garage...I contacted the elderly lady at the home...she said it was not for sale...it was her husbands...who had passed away..and now was her sons...I kept going back every now an again...and came up empty...after 20+ years...I finally gave up on it...that reminds me I should go by there...bet you it is still in the garage....;)...this truck reminds me of another truck I've seen...just can't place it....:lol:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

I would LOVE to own that truck.
It's even the perfect color.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Wow. Just...wow! Sweet truck.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Thats an amazing time capsule right there. Did you talk to the mechanic that is working on it? It would be awesome to find out the history.....and the sons name...;)

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

WOW!!!!! That you do not see everyday!

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Cool truck....:metal::chevy:

get her to join the club:D

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

She should move to Pasadena............then she would be closer to me:smoke:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

That is an amazing truck. I really like the Bronze on these trucks.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Did someone say engine pic's?

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

X2

You gave me an idea, she could be a special guest to the next C/10 bash!

No help there from the mechanic, he wants it too.:lol:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Amazing Rene... work your magic buddy!

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

That would be a cool magazine story:):chevy::metal:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Thanks for sharing...what a cool truck!

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Is that a "factory" air cleaner?

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

me wants it!!!! gimmy,gimmy,gimmy.......

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

I've wanted an air cleaner like that for a long time, but they are worth more than I am willing to spend.
Thanks for taking the time for the pics.
I wonder how many people think it's been repainted since the wooden floor in the bed has been painted over. (that's how they were)

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Nice

I wonder why all the carriage bolts have no paint on the heads?
The swb bed (with an original paint "wood bed" floor), that i use to own,... had everything painted.
Wood, strips, and bolt heads.

Think this truck has been freshened up at some point in it's 40 year life?

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Your post made me look at it again, and that floor is NOT covered with paint, but a dark stain instead.
The bed at a minimum looks to have been freshened up.

Very good observation.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

It looks to me like it has had some things done over its life. Perhaps just general upkeep since it gets driven... Very nice truck. I would guess that air cleaner is fairly rare. (chevelle maybe?)

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

That is a very nice truck! I as well like that air cleaner. A guy I know has a 69 Chevelle SS 396 375hp 4 speed car andhis has this same air cleaner on it. I'm guessing there are a lot more of these trucks hiding out on the west coast waiting to be discovered.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

I agree.
It's just so hard to find them rust free and un-molested.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Sweet truck, love the color and the BB and the super

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

You got that right ;)

Rene- Glad to see some pics of the Unicorn at last! :metal:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

:jdp:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Wow what a nice truck.
Ron

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Longhorn Man, don't let me down and say you don't know, but is there a possible way that the truck could have came with that air cleaner?

Yup, it's getting harder and harder.

Finally!!! :lol:

I hope you're right! :metal:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

If its not for sale, and rumors are its inheritance for her son..Then I feel its rude to even ask for it..Dont get me wrong, Id love to have it, but if thats what she wants to leave her kid after she passes..then its kinda messed up to even assume she would sell it.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

HOLY SH%T.

Super.....check
BB.........check
Wood bed....check
Tilt........check
Tac.........check
SWB.......CHECK!!

wow were all outta checks here, come back tomorrow.

What an amazing truck...imagine how she'd look with a 4/6 drop?

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

I would give my left nut for that air cleaner!!! That is a awesome truck

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

One more thing? What is it worth if it could be bought??

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

Make her an offer Rene :metal: :metal: :metal:

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

I agree with Keith... maybe even a restoration? The woodgrain on the glove box is not original, I believe the tach has been added and it is not the original radiator.. never the less, a beautiful truck.

Re: A real Unicorn, Finally 71' Cheyenne Super SWB BB
 

I have to agree, it's nice, but not really untouched. The rallies are the first thing that's not original, I know I know, wheels are easy to change. But it's also got a black houndstooth seat, the only way a true Cheyenne Super got black interior was with buckets, and then they were solid vinyl. Also the van tilt shift indicator doesn't do anything to make it look original either.
