Package deal, an individual had both and was selling them both at the same time to pay for the new '08 Z06 Corvette in his garage...

6772fan · 09-25-2007, 09:53 PM

That is one fine low mileage original truck. I like it!!!!!!!!

**N2TRUX** · 09-25-2007, 11:12 PM

Yeah, I have a question. Does he wanna sell it....

Eyegore · 09-26-2007, 12:47 AM

I have to ask you something- could you please resize the pictures next time, please. I love the pics of your blazer and now your dads truck, but please make them smaller and take tehm out of photobucket for those of use who have that site blocked at work.

Thank you

Now as already asked some pics please of the interior and engine bay, thank you.

Funny you should mention that... I drove a C6 Z06 last weekend and have been thinking about selling my vehicles for one...

Sweet find, any interior / engine bay pictures? 30k miles is nice and low... but not that low

**special-K** · 09-26-2007, 05:01 AM

No, but I'm sure he'd trade with you for your 77.

It's got the 350, with a factory 400 trans if I'm not mistaken. It's a Big 10, but the original Big 10 stickers were never applied. But they did come with the truck lol.

ouch...lol

Was your '77 restored when you bought it? or all original?

This '79 truck is all original except for the tires 'cause the original tires blew out on the way home!!

I'm dying to see your's in person. Me and my dad hit up the Woodland's Car Show from time to time, maybe you could tag along sometime...

I was just about to ask if they were still the original tires cuz my truck had the same tires on it when i got it new in '87.

I need the info on the dude your dad got the trucks from so in about 30 yr's from now i can go get that low milage '08 ZO6

Oh yeah that's a fine lookin' truck your dad has.

I have one ? is the ZO6 Blue too?

Thanks,

The guy we bought the trucks from was just turning them around to make some money on them, he wasn't the original owner.

and his Z06 is black lol
