Re: Silver Dollar
I think you are making to much of the listing. You need 60-80 pictures of every nook and cranny inside and out and under. Chances are better someone across the country will bid just let the pitures do the talking and give a basic simple yet descriptive write up.
my .02 EDIT: I see you just relisted it. The new add looks fine to me but I would add 2 to 3 times more pics. Even if you don't list them in the auction create a photobucket account and link to them. I also just noticed you don't have any stereo or A/C both are easy deal breakers to someone that have the cash to buy a turn key truck like this. Last edited by gearheads78; 09-14-2011 at 08:47 PM. |

But pictures do not lie. If they show a picture of the trunk and it has carpet, I ask for another pic with the carpet folded back. Some people don't oblige and that's that. The ones that do only help their cause. You listed your contact info and that's a huge plus. Since your asking price is in the high range for these trucks, the more you show the workmanship that's in it the more likely you are to get your price.

Re: Silver Dollar
Your auction and pics look great! All you need is the right buyer to come along.
I know how much time and work you have in this ride. There is no way I could stand to sell my ride when I get it done. It's understandable though when it's that nice it makes it hard to enjoy without thinking some jack is going to door ding it or key or whatever......I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Good luck with the sale. |

Re: Silver Dollar
Did you make any money after all said and done? (not including your labor time/cost)

Re: Silver Dollar
I'm the happy new owner of mrhino's '70 truck! The truck finally arrived this past Thursday, and you truly can't appreciate the hard work that went into the truck until you see it in person. The truck is better than I hoped, and Mike is a stand-up individual! I wired money to him sight unseen, and he kept the truck for a month after it was paid for while we waited for a transport to pick it up. The truck looks and drives great, and the truck is very well built!
Over the next 4-6 weeks, the truck will get a Classic Auto Air system, complete stereo system, tinted windows, and a leather split 40/20/40 bench seat with a fold-down arm rest and cupholder. The stereo will be wired and installed by the same guy that is doing the complete stereo and interior on my '69 Camaro. I can trust that it will be tastefully installed and have a clean look once it is in. Thanks for a great truck Mike! You and your family did an excellent job. She will be well taken care of!

Re: Silver Dollar
I will definitely keep the thread updated with pics and info! The truck is being setup as a daily driver because it will be a daily driver in dry weather! I will eventually end up swapping the intake and valve covers for a cleaner look, along with a coil relocation so the new covers can be seen. It's really great (and cheaper) to take someone's creation and expand on it to make it your own! I have been building my '69 Camaro for over two years now, and as everyone knows, they will nickel and dime you to death!

Re: Silver Dollar
thanks everyone, for all the support during the build. I had such a great time building this truck. I think having everyone follow along and share in my laughter and frustration made it even better. I would especially like to thank Trevor, for all the kind words he said. it really does mean a lot to me that you like the truck and it was better than expected. I'm sure you will do her right.
Definitively keep us up to date on the progress. There are a lot of people that follow this thread. I get PM's all the time. After all there aren't to many threads that show a build start to finish including the selling processes and than have the new owner take over. Very cool! Im very proud to be apart of it. and whats even better is; Ill get to see it transform right here with the rest of you. Thanks Again everyone! |

yep I do have something planned, I guess im feeling ambitiousness cause i have two projects. . back in May we bought my wife a truck. now its time to do some work to it. I Have started a build thread for it. the wife will be involved in a lot more of the process. It should be fun to say the least. and the other one is my 86 daily driver. its just flat wore out. she dosen't want to start anymore and doesn't want to shut off either. she keeps on running well after I'v turned her off, and have gone into the house. she is getting a few new extra holes and doest want to stop except for the left rear it locks up every time. she has just lost the lust for life. Ill see if i can bring her back. but first there is a few things that need be done to the wifes project first. so everyone that follows this thread and enjoyed it, should come along for the ride with this new build. here is the link: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...78#post5003178 |
