Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
I may be wrong, but isn't it a big window cab as well?

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
I don't think this is something you can put a price on. If you were to sell it to the right private collector I would think you could pretty much name your price but I don't believe it belongs there. It either belongs with you or GMC. IMO it is worth contacting GMC to see what they say.

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
That's an unbelievable truck and great story. It looks like it could be sitting in a showroom from back in 1967. Thanks for sharing. Any more pictures would be appreciated!

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing, and like so many others have stated, it definitely deserves to be in a museum! I too can't wait to see more pictures!

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Crazy. Just crazy. Like all the others here, I wanna see the pics with 40 years of dust and grime on it. Also underneath.
Question: Was it stored like it was going to be there long-term, or just parked and forgotten? Who knows how many more are out there like this. Not many, but they ARE out there. |

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
This is just like the lambrecht chevrolet... except not forgotten to rot in a field for 45 years... and y'all saw what those trucks brought.
I think you would be doing everyone here a great service if you would literally take hundreds of pics and document any markings, chalk codes, paint dots or marks, etc you find.

Was it common for there to be no passenger side mirror?

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
This one deserves to be professionally photographed and documented. Maybe GM would be interested. It should be in a museum somewhere, but you own it so you can do what you want.n

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Very Cool! Thank you!
Many here have stated that a full documentation is in order. I absolutely agree. However, I totally understand that in order to do that truck justice, the effort on your part will be significant. I also own a time-capsule type truck and just don't seem to make the time to get that particular documentaion job done. One thing that holds it up for me is a proper detailing beforehand. The details we are all after here don't necessarily stand out so well under decades of dust. It might be a little easier for you since your truck actually did not see any use. Another thing that some here might not realize is those details are often less than pretty. 1966 production line methods were NOT in any way similar to todays restoration methods. If it's perfection ya'll expect to see, my guess is you will be sadly disappointed when the pics roll in. Whatever you decide, or however you do it, any info or pics you provide will be quickly gobbled up by the serious truck fans here. Just know that. Thanks again! |

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
I hate to say it but I would never loan it to a museum. They will never take as good a care of it as you would. Even a few scratches would see the value affected. Sorry, I don't trust museums at all...... they'll move it around and such while displayed and will also clean it--do you trust it out of your site with others "taking care of it"?
That being said you have a few things to consider. 1) Documentation and valuation--Insurance. You need to insure the truck appropriately. If you don't it's a big mistake. One garage fire and you've lost a big chunk of change. Review the insurance and coverage with your broker and note the rarity of the vehicle, they may have special coverage but they might also have special restrictions on use and storage as well. 2) Consider selling it if you don't feel you can maintain it and keep it from deteriorating. Seriously, people looking at it and pawing it will inevitably lead to scratches and nicks and such unless you maintain strict control over it. I have a few low mile survivors and to be honest they aren't much fun. The history in your family though is what would be important to me as a consideration with selling and that's about it--otherwise it would be off to a significant auction. Valuation is tough in my opinion. One person mentioned "a life-changing offer" being the only way it would be sold. I don't think the value of this would be life-changing--at least not for me (I consider $1M bucks to be life changing!). Tough to value but I'm sure it would grab a lot of cash if sold to the right buyer and was sold in the right venue. Anyway, just some opinions per what everyone else is giving here, all of them good. It's a beautiful truck and it would be great to see in a museum or at a show sometime but personally I would never take it out of the garage and it would be up on blocks! I vote with some here in reaching out to GM and see what they think, perhaps they would want it for their museum. I would display it on some rotating base with period correct car show signage.... Good luck! Dave. |

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
I'm not saying you're lying about the truck, but aren't those armrests the '72 only style..? I may be wrong

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
I feel compelled to add to what Dave K. said. Items loaned or donated to museums are at risk. Management can change, which usually brings with it a revised outlook on the future of the enterprise. I’ve seen artifacts sold off to reduce inventory or focus the collection in a different direction. When this happens, true ownership of the item(s) is frequently muddled or intentionally ignored, and lost without any paper trail.
This is an unlikely scenario with an operation like the GM Heritage Center, but I’d be very concerned about loaning to a local museum. Beautiful truck by the way, and thanks so much for sharing all the photos and history.
