What year is your engine? There was a significant hp and torque drop after 1970 and got much worse in the mid 70's.

I don't go through MTS due to the fact that I personally don't like that they talk to me like I'm an idiot. I go through Chris at Cad Company.

I guarantee you that if you get they're high performance ported and polished aluminum heads, you'll be making by far way more power.

He's at $400 now!

SCHRUMGMC · 05-09-2013, 01:04 AM

Jesus Christ, is no one going to get it ?

y5mgisi · 05-09-2013, 02:05 AM

If someone wants to buy it we can make a deal for me to pick it up for them. You can ship it from my house in Portland.

SCHRUMGMC · 05-09-2013, 02:16 AM

Maybe this guy is bluffing, there's just no way he could sell it for so low

Could it be stolen ?

As far as I can see, he still is asking $800 with $400 in the title to probably get people's attention. He probably just wants the truck gone and somebody to pull his motor for him. Lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't some of these 472/500's make 500 lb-ft of torque from the factory?

The only year that made that much torque is the 1970 engines.

I've been talking to the guy a lot. Called him again today. There is a very big story behind the truck. Not a bad story, but this guy got emotional on the phone just talking about getting rid of it. He just wants the motor because its his only memory of him and a family member. He says the landlord said there was complaints about the truck and that it needs to go in a week. He wants $800 for it, but the closer the end of the week comes, the lower the price will get. He said he hopes he doesn't have to sell it for $400, but he may just have too.

If anyone is interested. Call him up.

He also says he has a clean title in hand in his name.

Thats sad, so the Truck i'd guess would be his Fathers or so

y5mgisi · 05-09-2013, 08:37 PM

If i were just in a slightly different point in my life, i would get it. $400?! Come on! I probably drop $400 a month on eating out at restraunts and stuff! To get a solid start to a truck like this for only $400 is just too good to pass up.

*low&slow* · 05-10-2013, 06:03 PM

Just thought I'd let you guys know that he said the wheels/tires on the truck (boyds) are up for trade for 4 skinnier tires on rims so he can fit the truck onto a trailer. He said he needs 4 wheels/tires no bigger than 8 inches wide. His trailer is 7 ft 3 inches wide
