Paper sticks to my truck...
 

I parked my truck on the street and paper notes keep sticking to it asking if it's for sale.

I sold my house and don't have a place to park it so it's on the street. Every time I go by to check it I find another note. Hopefully I find a storage yard here pretty quick.

You're lucky. I have people knocking on my door.

Bay Area?? I would be finding a way to keep it from being stolen. Lock out the ignition or starter with a switch.

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Yeah, mine's just an old truck, but I don't like people leaving notes on it, either. If it ain't yours, keep your pickers off! I can just picture someone coming up and lifting the wiper blade to put a note under it, and the whole arm popping off, and scratching the custom paint (not on my truck, though). I'd sure feel like dog droppings if I did that to someone's property.

Unfortunately at that point they are not leaving a note and just running away

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

In the last year 8 people knocked on my door and asked me to sell mine.

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Yup, and you have the damage, if any, to contend with.

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

I have no wipers on my truck. So no worries about someone putting a note on it. But I have had people stop me and offer to buy it. But they don't go near my truck. Maybe because I have a snarling big azz German Shepherd in it. Duke likes to ride in the truck. And he doesn't like strangers. He's better than an alarm.

I dread the day that someone wants to spend more on my truck than I am willing to turn down. I doubt it ever happens, but it will be a day of self-evaluation that I could regret the rest of my life.

Most "is-it-for-saler's" are just looking for a cheap buy. They think that it can't hurt to ask. I guess they are right, but it gets a bit annoying...like what year is it?...at every gas station. It's just a small price to pay for an classic owner.

They say, "is it for sale?"

I say, "everything's for sale" with a greedy look on my face and they get the picture that they don't have enough and the conversation turns to how much they like it and we're all good.

I’m in the same boat. There may be other trucks I could buy with the proceeds (or a Chevelle:metal:), but I might regret it. Best to save it for my heirs to deal with. :gmc2:

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

I just turned down a large offer for my truck. It did turn my head. But in the end I just couldn't do it.

I hope you are moving out of state ?

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Before I had my privacy fence put up . Guys would sometimes stop and ask about buying my old truck . Now it's out of sight . When I'm running errands , people do often comment about it . Most ask what year it is . I don't mind talking if they're not too long winded .

Brookings brother.

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

I get that too with my trucks . Last one was just a nice note .

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

But when I’m drive this it ranges from “ That’s beautiful “ to " offers “to your crazy driving it from the guys who look at the vin and realize it’s a true 138 SS .

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Was that "oat" groat? :lol:

As for the last post you made, back in those days the GTO/Le Mans/Tempest distinction was also made in the VIN. I had a '65 Tempest convertible that I was restoring in '92, but peace had broken out a year earlier, and I'd lost my defense job. I ended up selling it to make the mortgage. The guy told me he was going to "GTO it". I kept mum. When/if he ever went to sell it, a savvy buyer would have spotted the fake.

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Up to 68 the SS Chevelles were easy to spot vin started with 138 . 69 and up you need paperwork to prove its lineage


I at first thought what the hell is a groat? The realised it was all caps .

Had one weird interaction with a 30 something with my truck. I parked it and a guy standing next to his car a few spots away yells out " thumbs up " without actually doing it . Guess he thought he was on his phone

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

OK, I went and looked at the Poncho database, and it would appear that I had remembered about a '66 Le Mans that I had, not the '65. '65 doesn't appear to indicate "GTO" by the VIN. But it was a Tempest, so he'd still have been caught out. I don't like it when people cheat...

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

GTO was just an option untill 66 when it became a model if I remember right. The SS was also a trim option till 66 when it became a model with 396 . You could have gotten a 65 SS with a six banger

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Yup on the 6. SS was bucket seats, gauges and badges. My dad worked final inspection at the GMAD in Van Nuys for many years. A '70 Camaro SS got written up for low power. It had every available option and a 250 CID six in it, so of course it was weak. It MAY have even had a Powerglide, as they were still available. That would have made it a real dog!

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Sign in the window in all capital letters "NOT FOR SALE". And maybe a cover?

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

Been there :lol:

Re: Paper sticks to my truck...
 

I would just put a For Sale sign on it with a ridiculous price on it with the word FIRM right after.
