3) There's a lot of wonky stuff with this one that I think will prevent it from selling for more than the high teens I predicted, which is about where it is now.

Spend $30K fixing up a shortbed big block, sell it for $35K. Spend $30K fixing up a Frankenstein with a fake spid, sell it for $20K.

I think the criticism of this truck is legitimate. I agree that it's very nice, but when the seller advertises it as a "numbers matching" truck and all the evidence suggests that it's not an original 350, that's fraud. Not to mention all of the other issues pointed out already.

Yes, it's nice. Very nice in fact, and if it was advertised as simply a nice truck, I'd have no issue - even if it sold for $50K. But the seller opened the door for this criticism by holding the truck out as something that it's not.
