Longhorn Man · 09-14-2009, 05:14 PM

it ain't as original as he thinks... I see a few repop parts, and a few that don't belong there.
Its almost worth half that.

rwolf9653 · 09-14-2009, 05:31 PM

On the east coast that looks like $7k nice. The auction will pobably end with no bids.

**leddzepp** · 09-14-2009, 05:55 PM

It is a nice truck....but way overpriced.

big_al_71 · 09-14-2009, 06:09 PM

Great deal!!!!

**fine69** · 09-14-2009, 06:13 PM

Some people just want to keep their stuff.

vectorit · 09-14-2009, 06:37 PM

Where was the "black leather seats" he wrote about?

Plus it has expired CA plates, so there is gonna be some title transfer hurdles to do. Not sure bout WV, but in CA it's usually a hassle.

Didn't really understand the "Very low mileage - 68,706." thing either. Oh, maybe that's the actuall mileage? I was thinking he was trying to say some sort of engine size.

Oh well, still looks like a nice rig. Just askin to much IMO.

PanelDeland · 09-14-2009, 06:36 PM

It's a great deal for the seller if he gets that.Original?
I don't ever recall a leather seat option.Besides that they're the scroll pattern common to the better optioned trucks.
Cassette deck?I don't recall that either.
Green heater box?Looks like it was painted to me but I've never seen one body or interior color.
And I am no expert on options(or anything else for that matter)

1 to many ZEROS on the BuyItNow price ...

mr48chev · 09-14-2009, 07:39 PM

My bet is that like a lot of guys he is using Ebay for inexpensive world wide advertising and doesn't expect or really want a bid.
Compared to advertising in my local daily paper Ebay is a real inexpensive way to advertise. Get an email from someone who wants to look at it and then make the deal.
Here in the valley he would be hard pressed to get 7K without it being four wheel drive.

As a side note: About six years ago I had two cars that I wanted to sell basically as parts cars. The local daily wanted 75.00 at that time to run a 25 word three day add with no picture. I'm not sure what a 7 day Ebay add would be on that truck but I'd bet about half that and no extra fees if it doesn't get a winning bid. And if someone is nuts enough to cough up the 15K the seller made out like a bandit.
Now lets get a thousand guys putting it on their watch list and let him go nuts thinking he is going to get a bid on it.

**Already Gone** · 09-14-2009, 10:45 PM

Its on my watch list cause I want to see if anyone will bite on it. You gurus know more than me about the nitty griity details of our trucks but I know this truck just doen't look right to me.

Longhorn Man · 09-14-2009, 10:49 PM

expired cali tags don't mean jack in any state but Cali... and as far as I know, Cali is the only state that does that crap.

dan42 · 09-15-2009, 12:42 AM

You're supposed to put a non-op if you're not going to use it here, otherwise they put on a penalty for expired registration. Even non-op costs you money. I'm not sure why, you're not wearing out the roads, or spending their money in any way except paperwork. I guess it's just California.

Longhorn Man · 09-15-2009, 01:06 AM

cali looks at it as property tax... instead of a road tax.
BS IMO.

**leddzepp** · 09-15-2009, 01:17 PM

Non-Op is a one time fee of $10. BS yes, but super cheap.

I put a non-op on my '69 CJ-5 in 2001. That breaks down to about $1 a year to keep it current. It's the only tax/fee that I don't complain about.

kyfig70c20 · 09-15-2009, 01:25 PM

There is an old saying that anything I have for sale for the right price. With the advent of Ebay, you can put those words and pictures on the net.

Longhorn Man · 09-15-2009, 04:03 PM

The non op thing is a great idea... it's the back fees on a vehicle that was not non-op'd that is total bogus BS.

unclewatts · 09-16-2009, 12:06 AM

I'm gonna give you $15,000 for a truck with one distant view of the engine compartment? All I can see of the engine is a chrome air cleaner. For $15,000 there better be a 502 with a blower in there!

I think I will buy it and then mark it up and try to resell it for profit. You don't see many with the original fiberglass bed topper, cassette deck, and leather seats still intact. Might have to scrub the dna out of the carpet first though.

Longhorn Man · 09-16-2009, 04:24 PM

guys... the seat ain't leather, the seller is just confused and cant tell plastic from cow.
