Interesting (and gorgeous) C20 Cheyenne on ebay

[jocko]

Check out the SPID... Z84 Cheyenne Super(!) Appears to be an Oshawa truck - and I think we've had some discussions on here in the past about the occasional Z84 (Cheyenne (or CST) only) RPO with the YE9 nomenclature in it (i.e. "Super"). Truck appears legit to me - it is just a Cheyenne, and a very nice one at that. Seller claims 27K original miles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Ch...m=111992135617

Perfect.

I was just about to post that one, Jocko. You're up WAY earlier than I am... or maybe it's way later.

It's a '72 because of the vent window door screws and windshield mirror... but wasn't there a "71 Cheyenne only" thread a few days back that was saying those long-armed door mirrors were '71 only?

It's hard to believe that truck is in Ohio, original and rust free.

Not sure about the other thread you mentioned - but DF2 camper mirrors were available in 72. Seller appears to have installed the upper angle extension to raise the mirror height a bit. Those were on my 72 when I got it and they were the first thing off the truck (the extensions, not the mirrors)

I just spoke to the seller. He just bought the truck very recently to make a buck on. I'm guessing he has at least a $20K reserve on it. He sent me some additional pics of the engine bay, etc. that weren't in his Ebay ad. I got the whole back story on it. It is the real deal.

That's the case with just about every one of these trucks you see for sale.

The story is what makes the money! Still it is a nice looking truck.

A very nice truck...although a couple of underhood and under chassis pics would help a bit.
That said...one thing I always find very telling is the amount of people interested and bidding on very original, clean trucks.
There are quite a few more trucks on Ebay that have been updated, modified...arguably restored to better appearance and shape...that don't generate as much interest.
It will be worth watching to see where the bidding goes and gets to.....personally, I suspect somewhere near or just south of $15k...but I've been wrong many times before..lol

Nice truck for sure.....

All Good

good ebay reputation too, has sold several vehicles recently, am I the only one who looks at that?

[Joesjunk]

I was checking that out this morning, it sure looks like a nice one

[drfloyd]

No, I look at their sales history as well. I called the guy this morning and he sent me these additional pics. I had the high bid for most of the morning, for what it's worth.

[drfloyd]

I think his reserve is at 20 or more. He was saying it was worth 20 to 25. This truck was bought from an estate sale in Pennsylvania by a friend of his and he bought it from the friend just to turn it quickly.

[sawyerrm]

at least he's honest enough to show you the rust picture, that says alot IMO

Here is a lot of the reason it has no rust. The pic of the door edge shows a little yellow plug just above where the door curves and that is how Ziebart has been rustproofing forever. When a vehicle is new they drill into the body and spray the undercoating into inside of doors, rockers etc.

Nice truck!...What about the license plate bracket all the original ones i have seen were argent/silver

[drfloyd]

He did tell me that the truck had no bumper when he bought it. He installed an aftermarket bumper. That may explain that anomaly. The truck spent it's life with a camper on it. That's why the bed is as good as it is and it probably explains why there are other parts of the truck with no rust.

Beautiful. A rare find for sure! Some one is going to end up with a beauty and will forget what it cost soon enough. Trucks like that are few and far between.

No idea, but it's always possible Canadian trucks are a little different. The cars are.. for example the grille divider on a '70 Chevelle is body color in the US but black (unpainted rubber) in Canada. Guess they saved time/money by doing them all the same.

Not saying that's the case, but it wouldn't surprise me.
