Truck is a 350 V8, long bed, cheyenne, less than 14k original miles. Truck was bought brand new by a family member, so truck has been passed down in the family since new. Must sell immediately! Everything on truck is original except for maintenance items such as brakes & etc.... Truck is original blue color, has been touched up as needed.

Blinked my eye and it was gone!...At least that`s what my first though was when I saw "Best Offer".I`m sure they`ll "take their time and let it climb".I`d give my eye teeth,but I already gave them away.

IDK ad reads kinda funny to me kinda like it's a scam but IDK.

ctucker · 02-01-2009, 10:20 AM

yeah somethings fishy why would you need "maintence items" such as brakes with 14000 original miles?

Not even so much that. More looking at this (Must sell immediately!) doesn't look as if they are liven in shambles.

people are getting laid off left and right, the first thing to go is the toy. Be it an airplane, hot rod, restoration project, summer cabbin by the lake... They will sell anything to keep from losing there house.

Is it wrong to buy something cheap because they "need the money"
I've found lots of stuff lately at great deals "must sell immediately"
I'm not rich, but if I can use this downturn to save $$$ I'm gonna go for it.
Can you really hi-jack your own thread?

big_al_71 · 02-01-2009, 05:09 PM

The answer to your first question is NO. If they need the money, buy the stuff. Win,win.

Nope! Look at it as doing them a favor. If they weren't willing to let something go cheap...well...they should have kept it.

Remember...You can sleep in your truck....but you can't drive your house!

Down south truckin · 02-01-2009, 10:39 PM

anybody make contact with the owners yet? looks like a scam to me,but you never know I would be a player on it if anyone could get in touch with the owner.My computer won't let me email through the craigslist system.

**Classic Bowties** · 02-02-2009, 03:32 AM

Has anyone been e-mailed back/given an actual asking price, or actual contact info-location area of truck?

Kayotic · 02-01-2009, 11:55 AM

Yeah, I have noticed a lot of these trucks coming out of hiding in the back yard to the front yard; the economy is definetly squeezing them out...

True about maintenence on a 14000 mile truck.

Longhorn Man · 02-01-2009, 11:58 AM

even if a tire doesn't go bald in 14,000 miles, it'll be junk in 40 years.

**special-K** · 02-01-2009, 01:55 PM

Batteries,wheel cylinders,master cylinders,starters,all kinds of parts can seize up or age with time.Gaskets dry up,too.It could just nean the battery,oil/air/gas filters,and points/plugs aren`t original.
A building lot has been hard to find in my area.Now,you can take your pick.Ever people with money are trimming fat or needing to reel in some money of their posessions.I doubt they`ll be giving it away unless there`s no interest and they really need the money bad.

stope4 · 02-01-2009, 05:29 PM

Sorry, but the truck looks redone to me. Why would anybody store a pickup for 40 years. Just doesn't make any sense. Plus, there are no pictures of the engine, interior or underneath. I say buyer beware.

67ChevyRedneck · 02-01-2009, 05:29 PM

I've got about 6 more months before I need to consider selling the Silverado. It would kill me to do it, it was the first nice thing I bought myself after putting myself through college. I was in college from 99-04 and I wanted a 99-02 ever since they came out. That was my goal, after I got my first real engineering job, I was buying a 99-02 Z71. I know a lot of y'all don't like newer trucks, but she really means a lot to me. The 67 is non-negotiable, I'll live in it if I have too

Nice truck, I wonder what "best offer" is?

Are you going to buy it retodd7711?

Recession = A period of time when people with a little extra money get to buy stuff at half-price from people who don't have any money.
