Re: Not Mine ....79.6 miles on a 70 chevy pu

[QUOTE=AusTx68;3956066]Wow, amazing find. I would love to have that truck but no way I'd pay 50k. Personally I wouldn't give more than 25k but that's just me. I'm sure even at that price you guys would make a good profit from the sale.

btw, shouldn't those tires be dry rotted?[/Q


Ok, you obviously have no clue as to what we gave for this truck. So, why you would speculate as to us making a good profit if we sold it for 25k, is beyond me. I realize everyone has their opinion of what it's worth and if that's what it's worth to you, that's fine.

I'm not going to get into what we paid for it, but this truck was NOT given to us by any means, we had to pay good money for it. We bought it as an investment and IF and when we decide to sell it, our investment will pay off. We don't intend to get rich or make a killing on it. In fact, whoever buys it, if they decide to, at some point down the road, will probably make money on it as well.

As for the tires, you would expect they would be dry rotted, but they are not. Over the 40 years of sitting in that shed, surprisingly, only one of the tires lost air. The right front tire, and that tire does have some dry rot on it from sitting there flat for however long it was flat. But, the rest are fine.

You're right, I have no clue what you paid which is why I speculated. I meant no harm I was just expressing my opinion. No need to get defensive. I doubt anyone here thinks you got the truck for free. I wish you luck with your sale.
