man, if I had an extra $28K this would be a great present - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looks like there is more Ford than Chevy in that thing. It is a pretty cool looking vehicle but at $28,500, I think that price is way off the mark. Looking at the condition and all, it might be a mod but that body appears to have alot of imperfections IMHO.

For pete's sake smooth out the body and throw a coat of paint on that thing, or some flat black at least, and then talk to me about such an elevated price (the owner that is). Maybe i'm way off the mark but that's how I sees it.

Look at that seat cover for the love of God. It looks like a misplaced poncho!

67ChevyRedneck · 12-17-2004, 11:14 AM

I think its WAY overpriced as well

paintpyro · 12-17-2004, 11:15 AM

Now that is a HOT ROD!

GMC71k20 · 12-17-2004, 11:26 AM

the misplaced poncho is another period piece. mexican blankets was the hot rodders choice of seat covers. ask dubie, i think hes got one in his truck.
28k isnt unrealistic, since the car fits a popular trend right now im sure it will find a buyer. i think its silly myself. hot rodding was supposed to be inexpensive and homebuilt.

No offense of course, about the poncho seat cover. It would look good on my seats right about now. I was just going on a rant. I will shut up now.

Some get it and some don't.
For those that do, enjoy.

Oh I do get that it's a cool truck. What I don't get is the inflated price. That's the only issue. If you can afford to spend the $28 grand on it, by all means, please do. I would buy it myself in a heartbeat, but not even remotely close to that price.

See, I do get it.

superchevy · 12-17-2004, 01:44 PM

What's overinflated to you is cheap or priced right to someone else; it's all relative to how much cash 'ya got.
I can't afford the truck either, but to someone who can and who digs these kind of rods, it's probably priced right.
I sold some cool vintage valvecovers on the board a couple of weeks ago for what I feel was the right (overinflated?) price, and I got a couple of PM's from some folks who said I was crazy to be asking that much (don't know if they had the $ or not), but the guys who bought them sure think they were worth the money.
Like I said; it's all relative.

junkyardjohn · 12-17-2004, 02:00 PM

WOW... $28,500 .... YOU COULD BUILD A PRETTY NICE TRUCK FOR THAT MUCH MONEY. I THINK I WOULD HAVE TO PASS AT $2800 ... BUT THAT IS JUST ME.

JOHN

boraxman · 12-17-2004, 02:07 PM

I guess im one of the ones that dont get it cause I wouldnt give him 2800

Like I said in my post above superchevy "IMHO" short for, in my honest opinion. My opinion might not be right to you or anyone else in that matter. Hell, it might not be right at all, but to me it is right, and I am entitled to that opinion. Just as you are entitled to think that it's not overpriced.

Please, don't take this post the wrong way. I'm not being pissy or anything I just think that there is a misunderstanding here. This is an open forum to make comments and the such and my intention was not to tick anyone off.

All in all, even if I did have the money to piss away, I still wouldn't pay that much for it.

But who knows what I would do under the right circumstances.

**Palf70Step** · 12-17-2004, 05:45 PM

Very different look. Very nice rat rod.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-17-2004, 10:57 PM

You gotta be sh!tt'n me. You could have had my Model A for $14,000 last march, I had it on ebay for a long time and finally ended up trading it off.

That thing put the Rat in RatRod.It definitely is ratted.Lots of potential,and one of a kind,but someone would have to love it to buy it at any price.
I'd give $28.00

grayw0lf · 12-17-2004, 11:23 PM

Kinda cool, but definately not neat enough of a job to be worth 28K. IMHO

67cst · 12-17-2004, 11:34 PM

that is gross. look at those headlights, waaay out of place...imo id rather drive a k car and have 28+thousand burning a hole in my pocket

>X< · 12-18-2004, 12:45 AM

it takes skill to build a rat rod that looks good with a bunch of mismatched parts, this guy didnt do it. its cool, weird, retro, sweeeeet, but 28grand, hahahahaha. thats something you build for yourself, not to try to sell for 28000

cableguy0 · 12-18-2004, 12:56 AM

for the price the body work is horrendous. you shouldnt be able to see the weld marks from pieceing that hunk of sh!t together.i wouldnt give 100 bucks for it and some of the parts on there are worth more than that.

4x4Poet · 12-18-2004, 01:42 AM

I do like the mini pickup bed. It's useless, but different. Something is wrong with the dimensional asthetics. I can't put my finger on it. The whole rig doesn't flow. Randy's rig flows from one end to the other. And that intake flows, no doubt.

The auction site has way too little info to warrant a serious look by a buyer with big money.
