Watch out for this ebayer? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GMC AMI · 06-28-2007, 06:24 PM

Here is a just closed auction. The HOT ROD pros informed me that 73 -87 wheels came STOCK on 72 trucks and was quite rude about my ? Did not believe that 72's did not come from the factory this way. No wonder about his 97% feedback on such a low score!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...47&rd=1:drama:

Look at his feedback, only one? What happened to the rest of them? Why did he sell a 30 grand MC for a 100 dollar bid? I tried to contact the buyer and e-bay would not allow me. So what really is going on here? Just thought good members should know in case of dealing with them.

jeffspower · 06-28-2007, 06:43 PM

Another know it all that knows nothing. If that truck is a 90 pointer, pigs fly. It's a nice truck, but there is alot of stuff not original, worn paint, rust running off the rocker...

Spanky_Pete · 06-28-2007, 06:47 PM

Certainly looks suspicious to me.

A couple things that jumped out at me right away:
If it's original paint, why aren't the tailgate letters painted?
And it looks like the chrome for the back of the cab at the two tone split was never here (no rivets).
Nice mismatched interior colors too.

Definitely someone I'd steer clear of.

jgrh64 · 06-28-2007, 06:52 PM

Did they come with hood ornaments ? I don't remember seeing one before

70GMCer · 06-28-2007, 06:57 PM

Can't wait to see this on Barrett Jackson........

chipflyer · 06-28-2007, 06:58 PM

Got a pair of ford mirrors on it too. hmmmmm.

jgrh64 · 06-28-2007, 07:01 PM

hey check out the "original factory antenna"

1969k10stepside · 06-28-2007, 07:02 PM

Someone shoud post a link with us all agreeing there was no factory rally wheels on 67-72s...

Boise69 · 06-28-2007, 07:04 PM

Actually if you click on 'All Feedback' you'll see the rest of them. Funny though he got a bad feedback from the very same place that gave me one on a dishwasher i bought that they never sent me. small world

Random Guy · 06-28-2007, 09:09 PM

In fairness. They did say the bird was custom installed in the description.

Rust Buster · 06-28-2007, 09:25 PM

Why isn't the steering column green?

*trkklr77* · 06-28-2007, 10:33 PM

when did 72 p/u's come with 57bel air hood ornaments?

the steering clomn matches the door panels but not the floor or dash?!?!

cstm68 · 06-28-2007, 11:00 PM

what is the lower molding ???

**special-K** · 06-28-2007, 11:31 PM

Hmmm...the seller rated it at 90.That`s higher than the one that was rated lower and went for $16,000.So,that means this one must be worth more,right?No?Thanks,that BS had me wanting to go out and give them $20,000.I don`t see where he`s claiming all these thing to be original.
Except...I don`t see the filler for the factory dual tank.It is a`72-only option,just not ordered on this one.He must mean the aftermarket tank.

see ten · 06-29-2007, 05:56 AM

It's a nice truck but not near what the seller seems to think it is. As far as the steering column goes I think that it's correct. My truck is dark green with a tan dash pad and steering column. I also have the white door panels and seat belts like this truck has. Odds are the seat should have been white as well. Again, nice truck, but not near as nice as they are trying to lead people to believe. Probably would have been a good deal at what that auction closed for.

My '72 is that exact color combo and my interior parts were all black from the factory.

bouncytruck · 06-29-2007, 12:52 PM

My '72 is orange with the parchment/sandalwood interior combo. The seats and door panels are off-white (parchment) and the dash pad, top of dash and column are sandalwood.

This ebay truck looks like you'd find a lot of problems once you over pay for it and get it home. Nothing worse than a "know-it-all" seller who doesn't know what they are talking aobut.

Chevelle454 · 06-29-2007, 02:47 PM

Wow...

Notice that he only sold 4 out of 250 available? That's $400 in his bank...I wonder if he even posessed the bike in the 1st place.
