Original 72 highlander FS in ND. 524 Miles?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I don't know anything about this truck other that what is advertised or if it's legit. I could check it out if anyone is seriously interested. I have no interest in this truck's sale.

Thought it would be cool to share advertisement at the least.

Wow, that's interesting.

That truck was listed last year. I believe they were asking 27k or 28k. I think it was eBay where I seen it.

Looks like it was listed for $18,000 probably a starting bid

Its been listed on eBay a couple of times before the last I know of sold at $20,000.00. Its here on the board too with a couple of threads as it is discovered again by different members. The original pictures from some twenty months ago leave the impression the truck is an older (80s-90s) restoration. Since it was an "estate sale" its history was presented as unknown, assumed original. There is a lot of black paint in typical dress up fasion so popular in the late 80's.

It looks like a nice truck, as others have stated it comes up for sale now and again. I don't believe mileage claims on any of these trucks.

Lacking ironclad, indisputable documented proof, I agree 100%. Doesn't mean it's not a really great truck, though.

I'd love to go look at it. I'd be nothing more than a tire kicker though.

...nice truck for sure.
Still...I'm going to stick to my guns on my overall value assessments and again say that I still believe that many (most?) of these nice trucks start to run out of value steam in the mid-high teens $dollar wise. There are just too many nice examples that can be found for that $10-$20K price range. A lot of this is due to the massive numbers of them that were produced. As a result these $25K+ plus trucks often hang around a long time while for sale and some sell...many don't.
As for as finding a nice one....well to me its like a fairly reliable railway system...miss one train and there is another along in 15 minutes.
Just my two bits.
All Good
