71 GMC came my way
Added a 71 GMC to the herd last night. Still on the trailer. Owner asked "would I buy it for X number dollars" so I said let me take a better look at it. Popped the hood & saw a rebuilt looking big block with factory air. Shut the hood & said "I'll take it".
Paint sux but looks to be a rust free old girl. Forgot to mention that she runs, drives, AC blows cold, & passed emissions.

Re: 71 GMC came my way
Looks like a good one. What are you're plans for it? Give it a good once over and drive it?

Re: 71 GMC came my way
Being a fellow Phoenix native, I am dismayed I have yet to run into a deal like that. You are very well connected or just very lucky. That is a nice 3/4t you have added to the fleet. Congratulations.

thanks. "Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while". I agree. My wife said "YOU'RE NOT GONNA SELL THIS ONE ARE YOU"? It's too nice. Perfect bed floor. Looks like it had a camper in it it's whole life.

Re: 71 GMC came my way
sweet little work truck.
two questions: 1) Owner asked "would I buy it for X number dollars" - did you see an add and go look at it, or was it a gas-station impromptu buy? just curious, I always wonder how many deals are done just on a whim... 2) Passed emissions?! I am in cali, and even in our TERRIBLE smog state we dont need to smog '75 and older vehicles, you need emissions tests on a 71?? |

2) yes. Every vehicle made after 66 must pass emissions here in AZ unless you obtain classic car insurance which I always do.
