I was just thinking anyone else looking at this auction on eBay is probably looking at this magazine thinking "what the heck is so special about this thing, anyway?"

Guys/Gals...I hate to tell you but the word is out...I was asked about the Rare Corvette Option that is within the pages of the Classic Truck magazine from a very serious potential bidder on ebay. I am afraid we are about to start a bidding war. For this I apologize.

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
I sent an email to Classic trucks mag tonight to let them know what we are doing. Hopefully the will get it and feel touched by this story and what there mag is bringing in on ebay. Maybe they will be willing to help out in someway.
Here is a copy of what I sent in the email: I am a member of an online forum called 67-72chevytrucks.com and there is a post on that web site about a lady that lost her husband at too young of an age. Dawn and Clyde were in love with 67-72 Chevy trucks. They had collected many parts over the years. There was one truck above all that was special, a 67 SWB C-10 that they affectionly called "Ole Girl". After Clyde passed away Dawn was devastated. She needed money and tried to sell here collection of parts on Ebay. Long story short after many people tried to scam her they ended up not selling, but before it was over one of our members befriended her and learned her story. The following is a link to the post on our web site; http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=298883 It is a long post but well worth the reading. We started a collection to help her out and have collected about $2000 for her. Also some of the members who live close have taken her beloved 67 to give it a makeover so she will have something to remember her husband. The reason I am sending this to you is this, One member who goes by the name of 70cst has started an auction on ebay of an issue of your magazine from Oct 2003 and 100% of the proceeds go to the rebuild of the 67. As of this writing the bids are up to $150. Here is the link; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=270278803411 This would be great publicity for your Magazine and I hope you will help us out in some way with our task. We are an internet comunity that is taking care of a great lady who has had her world shaken up. I personally am helping her because this is what life is all about, helping out another person. The odds that I will ever meet Dawn are probably 0 because she lives in Tennessee and I live in Idaho, but I feel like I know her like a friend. I just hope if I meet an early end that my wife will be taken care of this well. Jared Johnson

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
I use to have ******* until I got married. That was a long time ago. Now I have a strong instinct for self preservation!
