Wow is right.

**too much stuff** · 01-18-2012, 10:29 PM

As joe dirt would say... Daangg! I don't recall seeing a powerglide this late either. Looks like a nice original.

I am going to have to go joe dirt with it as well.....DAAANG!!!

OhOneWS6 · 01-18-2012, 10:54 PM

Pretty cool. I don't get why does he screams no reserve but there is a 15K minimum opening bid. I realize the difference by definition but it really is no different than a 15K reserve.

**jocko** · 01-19-2012, 12:07 AM

i guess he's just being clear that the first bid could in fact win it. But yeah, agree, two ways to skin the cat.

I don't think I've ever seen a truck with LESS options that I wanted so badly... What a piece of history. I'll take 2 please...

blkcorvair · 01-19-2012, 12:18 AM

thats sick. hope it gets to stay original and not get modded down the road. made it this far.

And here I was thinking.... man, all it would need is a Porterbuilt Dropmember set-up or a Roadster Shop chassis; either one w/vintage air & you'd be done.

29od1 · 01-19-2012, 09:49 AM

I've personally seen this truck and it is INCREDIBLY clean! He was showing me some of his trucks and so I didn't look at it closely enough to verify that everything was exactly original, but he has the history from the family he bought it from in TX so I wouldn't doubt the mileage.

Quote:

Now if that was the 1971 Super Cheyenne deluxe with the 402 auto with every option known to man Ya i can see starting bid at 15,000 with that less of miles.

He's got a couple of the trucks you described already, so that's probably why he's selling this one instead.

Oh my... that is like porn!!!

WOW! That is awesome.

YBNORML · 01-19-2012, 01:22 AM

Sweet truck! I think I have seen it before. Might even belong to a member?
It'll be interesting to see if it sells, and for how much.

ColinOpseth · 01-19-2012, 02:28 AM

That truck has more stripper options than a hooker at the local Peaches strip joint.

stsalvage · 01-19-2012, 03:09 AM

My only quirk In this hole story was he's a collector and he ran out of storage room If this truck is that rear it be the one i would not sell.I sell one of the 20 other trucks he has that is a no name or there all piles.I've seen a lot of old car's made to look one way but after you really look at it it really is not what most people say it is.

Yes its a nice truck But fitting 15,000 I doubt he will get a bid just like all you said No options just the short bed

Now if that was the 1971 Super Cheyenne deluxe with the 402 auto with every option know to man Ya i can see starting bid at 15,000 with that less of miles.

But I would of gone to the reserve and see what you might of got for it at least when it got up to 9500.00 and stalled he could lower his price.

Now he just wasted 100.00 listing fee

**special-K** · 01-19-2012, 07:09 AM

^ And,that is your opinion...thank you. Now,I will say that not everyone in the world would only pay $15,000 for a BBC Cheyenne Super SWB. And,if that's what it was I believe people would pay $30,000 or more in that condition.

Personally,I don't believe the mileage. Doesn't look a mile over 2,000

I learned something here cuz I always thought '69 was the last year for Powerglide.

**special-K** · 01-19-2012, 09:57 AM

I just checked my '71 dealer data book and it does list the Powerglide,option code M35 available only with standard engine.

yuccales · 01-19-2012, 09:59 AM

Gets a double WOW from me.

**RenoKeene** · 01-19-2012, 10:19 AM

Love these time capsules....not 1 for the Scrapper

**Tim Christian** · 01-19-2012, 10:26 AM

Worth the starting price no questions asked!

AusTx68 · 01-19-2012, 10:35 AM

With a starting bid of $15k this auction should include photos of the undercarriage. Looking at the engine photos I see the passenger side frame is covered in rust. There is evidence of it on the underside of the hood, and throughout the engine bay. Why would the area under the hood have so much surface rust while the body has none? Those were painted surfaces right?

I agree, no underbelly pictures. I'd taken 200 of them to have. I like the body shop sign in the back. (HAIL REPAIR, lol)
But other than that, what a sweet truck. I'm in love.

**Harleys 4 You** · 01-20-2012, 05:05 PM

The truck is in storage. I don't have a choice of what the guy next door does with his body shop & hail repair. We don't always get to choose our neighbors.

The point was the "hail repair" My body man does hail repair, but its plastered across the side of the building. lol. And you can only pick your neighbors if you own everything around you.
