Re: Ebay head scratcher
Here's part of the ad:
I have a very large 10K sq ft garage and have been doing restorations and custom mods to old and new cars alike for the last 25 years or so. Every car I do ends up being seen when I take them out to shows and they always sell. With that said I am sure people would rather have their show toy done they way they want it vs how I think it should be done. I am very detail oriented and am a master mechanic, welder, sheet metal fabricator and custom fiberglass finish person who takes pride in doing every modification you can think of to a car boat or motorcycle! I do every aspect of full restorations including engine transmission and differential builds, electrical and wiring harness fabrications, paint and powdercoating gelcoat finishing. With that said I am not a bondo bandit and do not do filler except when someone just doesn't want to pay for the job to be done right. I do fabricate panels, frames, and just about any other part that cannot be found when required. Cusom Fabrications with no models can be more expensive than reproduction parts though! With this info out of the way here is what I have to offer! This is a rare and all original Chevy C20 Stepside Pick-Up. I will start the bidding at 4K. That includes the truck as it sits and help loading it. If you want to do a shade tree restoration maybe this isn't your project! The truck currently runs pretty good but only has a partial floor pan.Wood floor is great! For 13K I will do all the work to restore the truck nicely inside and out! If you have a body manual I'll do it by the book! If not I must use my descretion and we'll discuss anything that is questionable. I will also do any and all rebuild work on this vehicle for the above mentioned money. If you prefer modifications I will do any mod work within reason but run your ideas past me to insure the 13K will cover it all. Any and all machine shop work and parts required will be in addition to the 13K labor... I do not rechrome parts. I can paint them or send them out to a chrome shop to be done at cost. You are also responsible for shipping and delivery costs. With the level of work I do you can expect this project to take up to 6 months to complete. If you delay funds required it may take longer to complete. Truck came equipt with 250 inline 6 engine, 4sd standard transmission. If you like power this and power that I can install it all! Want AC I can do a Vintage Air System. Like custom Gauges? I can do a full Dakota Digital Package with all the bells and whistles. Like a Diesel Engine? I can install it with the proper transmission! Paint will be a single color base coat/ clear coat but I will do paint to your taste in two tones and such for a little extra... Again you buy the paint so what you spend is up to you for the paint. Tricoat paint is extra too! You are bidding on the truck only for 4K and get all labor for the work you choose be it original or custom for 13K more! For some of you I may be working for $4 an hour! Use my tallent to make your ride yours! NADA is close to 30K for this truck done right so you have plenty of room to work here!

Re: Ebay head scratcher
Hmmm.....Does ad read really weird, or is it just me?
Lemme see......You're going to bid on and buy a truck that you can't even see a picture of, and then let a guy who is taking credit for everyone else's work finish it for an additional 13K? I don't like bagging on people I don't know, but the whole thing just seems really odd. There's a bunch of guys on the site from the Dayton area. Maybe they know the guy? As a footnote, my brother lives in Louisville, Kentucky and he told me that he saw Dino's 63 crew cab at the Beatersville show a few weeks ago. Maybe it was being driven by our mystery seller?

Re: Ebay head scratcher
Looks like he's selling the red one (with the all unoriginal step fenders) and using other peoples trucks to convince the buyer he built them.
