Hope it gets restored. '67-'69 V-6 powered GMC's are unique trucks.

I tried to call the guy that purchased all the cars. The seller told me the guy was going to take them into town try to part them out then crush them all and gave me the number to his shop.

I left a message at the shop but dont think that I'll get a return call. The guy that answered the phone knew of me, as the "other guy" looking at the 67 GMC. But, said that he wanted to look over the truck before they make any decisions on to part or sell complete.

After that wonderful conversation, I called the origional seller back and he told me the buyer had a guy interested in the GMC which is why he came out. SO Long way around, but I think it may not make it to me.

I left my number and all I can do it wait.

Is there demand for these motors? I have one that I have had for a long time and tried getting rid of. Do I just take it to the junk yard? Or is there a site other than Craigslist and Ebay to put it on?

What is the rpm range for these engines?

i absolutely love these engines, but think they might be monster gas eaters; Just to throw something in, my last monte carlo with the buick 231 v-6, i could only get about 19 mpg. So 6 cylinders does not automatically mean good mpg. i know 19 is not bad, but comparitively speaking it would seem it should get higher because i had another monte carlo with the chevy 305 and it also got 19mpg---but with 74 more cubes.

At the same token when you factor in (let's assume the original owner) that you didn't have a truck payment or have to buy a new engine for 40 years, then maybe that makes up for the high gas bill. And this engine (the truck in question) looks like it still runs or could be made running rather easily.


Also, all these trucks going for so cheap? What's going on in Texas?

i just thought of something else----would maybe modifying the exhaust help with mpg with these engines? You know like maybe headers or duals?
