auction hunters TV show - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BluTrukker · 04-05-2011, 09:15 PM

if you have a TV accessable, tune it to spike TV. They just bought a fairly clean and rust free California 71 GMC for $650! Oh by the way, it had a 350 under the hood and a bed full of parts. I guess I need to start going to storage unit auctions!

yeah there was a thread on here already back around Christmas when it first aired

pat 70/71 · 04-05-2011, 10:13 PM

Yea I saw the show. did you see how bad the truck looked when they sold it? both those guys are tools the way they talk people into the price they want. pre conceived bs! cheers, Pat

Did I see it correctly. There was no top rad hose on the motor when the guy took it for a test drive.

Thank you!! i thought i was crazy, i saw that to and pointed it out to my son, who promptly gave me that "yea right dad" look when the guy started it!!

I was also interested in that engine that was in the bed...

ricks71pu · 06-26-2011, 01:03 PM

just now saw it air again, and there was no top rad hose, and 2 secs later, test drive. dang, these trucks are built great!

**leddzepp** · 06-26-2011, 01:05 PM

Just another fake reality show.

EighthD · 06-26-2011, 01:24 PM

Check out the cargo light. It looks like they painted over it. Or just didnt unmask it. I noticed the radiator hose not on also.

**Tmend** · 06-26-2011, 01:59 PM

Thats why it was a 2sec test drive truck overheated lol

Also you have to look quick at 6:42 there is no taillights, backup or rear marker lights in the truck. no front turn signals either, the inside of the bed wasn't even sprayed either, it hard to tell but looks like the carb. linkage isn't hooked up when he is messin with it

oldblue1968chevy · 06-26-2011, 04:05 PM

I noticed the lenses..i like watching these shows but its a load of bs

bosco200 · 06-26-2011, 04:09 PM

Wow that was hard to watch.

ricks71pu · 06-26-2011, 04:26 PM

also, at 6:42, notice the cargo lamp not centered. looks to be 10 inches towards the drivers side.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-26-2011, 04:35 PM

So when that guy sees the episode he is gonna find out he was ripped off and be pretty pissed off.. I cant (or have not been able to)even get 6500 out of my blazer..

BlackTopMotors · 06-26-2011, 04:43 PM

I wish they didn't paint it. Would have been better just to clean it up, make safe, run well...replace missing parts here and there and then sell it.

2002yanks · 06-26-2011, 04:59 PM

if you search back a few pages you will see someone posted a cl listing for the truck for $1800. sitting in front of the shop they showed them at. sale was fake.

mcbassin · 06-26-2011, 05:25 PM

No way that dude really paid $6k for that truck. Unless Spike subsidized the deal I just don't see it. I'm not sure any of their deals are real, it seems like they always sell their stuff for near retail to experts. Just doesn't make sense.

I knew it was to good to be true. Just once i wish a show was not staged.

ryans69chevy · 06-26-2011, 06:19 PM

Look at the video again and you will see right after they buy it and check under the hood it is the same camera shot as when they show it after the paint job. Right by the fender wells you can see that the paint is still that yellow color that it was before they painted it. I'm sure after the show taped and edited everything they were just lazy or messed up and just put the same picture in twice.
