67 on ebay pulling some good $$

[c10addict]

Found this 67 on ebay and with 5 days left its pulling some big $$$ already in my opinion! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-CH...em110222996352

You are right. It,s bringing big money. It is a sharp truck. I noticed the results from some of the resent shows the 50,s 60,s trucks are bringing good money.

nice truck, lot's of work is in the truck, like the exhaust, keep's it tuck under the truck, sliver look good on these trucks also

[see ten]

Pretty sweet!

[70C10Step]

Very Nice!!!

I dont know, the truck just doesnt do it for me.

[slammed1]

Reserve still not met.......wonder what the reserve is??

i dont think trucks look good with big wheels and big tires unless they are bagged.. just looks funny

[dan42]

Yeah, it's not doin' it for me, either - I don't need a truck with someone else's personality built into it.

To me this truck looks like an emalgomation of parts that just wernt very well matched, It really doesnt have a flow to it. And there is nothing that stands out about the truck it is done up but plain jane. There is nothing that would make this truck stand out in a crowd, and the way they put in the AC/heat controls, to me just looks occuard.

The truck does deserve more drop,and would set my eyes at ease a little better. i could never have a quality vehicle like that but I always make sure the stance,wheels and tires are spot on.

I think it is sanitary, clean. The wheels and the exhaust are cool.

The workmanship on this truck looks quality, but it just doesnt have that natural flow to it that makes you want more. That is the cool thing about these old trucks, you can take an old farm truck that has a ton of character and jazz it up a bit with the right stance, and it will draw way more attention and be far cooler than a made up show pony like this.

beautiful truck the interior sells this truck. most people paying big money for trucks want a car feel. did not say much about the suspension and did not give us any pictures of the under carriage.
the only thing i dont like is the paint, love the color but it looks as if they panel painted. I thought it was the lighting but from two different angles the paint looks off QOI is not there. Notice the passenger door it looks off from all three angles.
panels dont look like they were properly alligned either, the close up picks dont show but the mag far shot reveals a little better.

so very true.

Im such a purist on 67-72 trucks that I dont like major body mods like chopped tops and such anyway so keeping the basic style stock looking but adding style and flair to one of these trucks pleases my eye more than one all doll'd up sporting wrong components.

This truck is nice,would look great in my driveway/garage but a few items would need addressed.

I am a purist in the fact that I like things that are purely functional, that is why these trucks are so beautiful to me, they are simple by design, and they are just a damn good all around truck.

To me stuffing a hood scoop on a truck for no reason is like having a 3 stage spoiler on your 82 civic, what is the point? I would much rather stick with that long lean beauitful hood line, I think that is one of the things I enjoy the most about these trucks, you just dont get that with the newer trucks today with ther super duper field of vision hoods that slope away, you ride in a 67-72 and you know your in a truck, it has a truck feel, trying to turn a truck into a car to me is pointless.

That doesnt mean you cant doll one up and make it comfortable, but why not do it like a truck?

Somthing kind of funny, when I was a little kid I had a tonka modeled after a 72 chevy, the ting is the tail gate would flop all the way down on the bumper because there were no straps to stop the tail gate, I took it to my grandpa all upset "Grandpa, they didnt put any chains on my tail gate, why didnt they put any chains on my tail gate!?!?!?" He got such a kick out of it he helped me put a set of minature chains on the tail gate of my tonka truck. I must have been 5 at the time.

I guess you could say when its in your blood its in your blood...

I have to agree with you. I am a bit of a purist to say. I hope no one takes this wrong...not putting anyone taste or truck down. I dont think a truck should sit as low as a car. I dont understand the point. If there should come a time where you absolutely needed it to haul something...not big...but like a couch...yeah its nice you dont have to lift it up far...but I feel lowering ruins the functionality of the truck. I have a hard time getting out of a car anymore for it to sit low. Its hard to get into a car that sits low. I spent alot of time getting in and out of Firebirds and Trans Ams for most of my life and cant do it anymore. So I do like my truck. Its not hard to get in and out of. I dont want to have to go slow over speed bumps, tracks and mazdas if I dont want to!!! Its something that has to be a taste I guess. Maybe I am just too old to understand why. I hope no one has taked offense to this...I dont want to offend anyone. Y'all have been great here.

I can understand your POV. I especially know what you mean about getting in & out of TransAms since I'm driving an 02 Collectors TA currently. What I hate is trying to get out w/o scuffing up the freakin' door panel every time (and that's w/the seat as far back as it can go).

Back to the trucks . . .... lowering doesn't necessarily ruin functionality if you 'engineer' the lowering to maintain capacity. My 68 was dropped 8" in the back & I could use it to tow my loaded 18ft steel floor car hauler. I've moved several vehicles (my 74, my 67, an Isuzu Pup, 66 Mustang), lots of yard related stuff, & moved my household furnishings/appliances when we moved across town. My truck was/is lower that the one in that ad but it was set up to still be used as a truck.

Thats why you gotta love bags... You get the best of ALL worlds! High, low, towing, ride quality...

That's a lot of $$$, but I am sure it'd take twice that to buy it. We who don't own that truck have no idea what kind of money or work that went into and shouldn't bash it. IMO I can't lay down that type of dough (I could but not easily) so i'll look and not say anything.

[Zumo]

That is what I call a "Hot Rod" truck

[chevy_632]

nice truck..my brother and a friend of ours went to that shop who's selling the truck last year,its about 6 hours from where i live. they did some renderings and built signs for there new shop and had to work on some racecars out there.he said they have some real nice stuff from hemi cuda's to rods to custom bikes, only thing is they make most there money off buying someone's done project and relisting it ex..this truck..may have changed how they run there buisness now i dont know.not trying to diss them..just know there probably asking alot for a reserve..still a nice unit tho curious to see what it brings..rob

One of the nicest interiors I have seen.

I did start this thread because I think it is a lot of money for the truck... Now that is a good thing esp for those of us who want to sell a nice truck... Yes if I wanted I could pick this truck apart BUT I can also pick my stuff apart all day long as well. Sure the truck has some nice parts on it and some things going for it but I would put my truck up against that one any day of the week and when I think about what my truck would be worth if I ever decided to sell it I would be happy with what this truck is pulling now... I am very curious to see where the auction ends...

The bad part about this hobby is you can not go by what it cost to build it when its time to sell it...

I was looking at this truck yesterday because I want bigger wheels on my 67. I don't like the black wheels but thats just me. IMO I think of black wheels with polished lips belonging on my 06 SI...lol. I do love that exhaust though and that interior but other than that I can't see myself paying that for a truck because I want to spend that on mine and make it all mine and no ones elses.


Now, back to the point, I want bigger wheels than my little 15's. Its time for a new look. What wheel size and BS do you have to tuck? I love that truck and IMO it is way better than that silver one that will prolly bring 30 grand.
