A Barrett Jackson truck

[brad2]

Looks like a very nice truck.

[Hottrucks]

I bet it sells around 15000,

what I find intresting is the winshield is tinted at the top...thats not a factory thing is it??? my truck is a 70 A/C trucks and doesn't have that??

[LaraWilde]

Oh my Gosh that is gorgeous... I am in love

[vegaschevy]

Hottrucks: The tinting your are talking about i believe is factory on any 67-72 i have seen no matter the options i have always seen the tinting there but that is just me.

Not around here??? all the trucks I have ever seen/scrapped don't have it or I would have done the swap??? now I have to look at one of the pic threads and see??..Hmmmm??

Sold for $68,200 including the 10% buyer's premium which, IMHO, is close to what it should sell for. Good news for those of us putting big dollars into a high quality build .

sold for: *$68,200.00 - so much for a slow economy

*Price Includes 10% Buyers Commission

Us purists just had a heart attack..... To each his own.... I could not imagine doing that to one of our trucks. I bet the owner had $68,200+++++ into that ride though. Sharpie

I understand it's not a 100% stock resto but the mods (other than the fender vent) are all subtle and fit the look of the truck... imho .

I'd like to see anyone build this for less than 50K...

....NOT INCLUDING LABOR...

I like it, there are things I would change, but there are things on every vehicle I would change including vehicles I did in the past...

I liked copperhead too, but without the engine and notoriety, that would only be a 25-30K truck....there are nicer trucks than copperhead built by people on this board honestly...including some 100% restos and survivor resto's I'd rather have...

Why I'm switching to a shortbed build

Love the truck but am undecided on the interior..

[Mondo]

I luv it

Restomods are the hot sellers right now. It's the best of both worlds to me... keep the traditional shape of the truck and customize the safety/engineering/interior. Let's face it, there's nothing really iconic about the interior of our trucks (I think the outside is though). I like the dash/steering wheel, nice job on the dash pad to match.

I too think he had more than $70,000 in it.

What color is that?

[big_al_71]

That truck my friends is total bad ass and it definetly cost a lot more to build than the 68k it sold for.
Total bad ass.....

[bigsnookmaster]

Very nice truck! The owner lost money though.

I agree. The seller also has to pay a commision fee of 8%. I believe the only one who made a profit here was Barrett Jackson.

There is an interior that bans drinking and eating - no kids with burgers and milkshakes in there

[1971gmcshortbed]

I may have to steal that color..

I'd like to see how his gas filler is setup, inside the double bed wall or in the bed area. Looks like it would have to be a popout with the outside body skin mounted right on the popout head. Nice truck.
