Any advice for selling a restored 72 GMC? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Roarkman · 02-10-2005, 06:46 AM

I have a restored 72 GMC 3/4 ton Custom Camper I would lke to sell, but I am not sure where to advertise it aside from this cool message board. I am a newbie here, but have been searching around the internet for potential sites. Can anyone suggest a few good websites that would provide good exposure for the money? The specifics of the truck and a few pictures are attached.

Thanks
Roark

For Sale 1972 GMC Custom Camper ¾ Ton 2WD South Carolina

Completely Restored Original California Truck
All options are original equipment
402 cu. in. Big Block (completely rebuilt)
Turbo 400 Transmission
A/C
Power front disc brakes
Power steering
Two Tone Blue/White - PPG Base Coat Clear Coat
Absolutely Rust Free – Beautiful survivor from high desert of California
New Michelin tires and Alcoa forged aluminum wheels
White/Blue Houndstooth Interior

This is an original factory big block, A/C, custom camper truck. I have owned the truck for eleven years and have the build sheet found inside bench seat. Truck was built in Fremont, California and lived in Lancaster, California most of its life.

All sheet metal is original and has always been rust free. All body panels are the originals it had when it rolled off the showroom floor. This truck is NOT a pieced together, rebuilt rust bucket, but is an extremely clean well taken care of original beauty. All body panels have been disassembled, stripped (soda blasted) and repainted with an extreme detail for perfection using top of the line PPG paint products including two stage base coat, clear coat. The truck has the highlander interior package and is brand new with new dash pad, upholstery, carpet and completely repainted sheet metal. Inside of the bed is original steel and it looks absolutely brand new. This truck was meticulously restored with the intention of keeping it forever, but new business forces sale. This is an opportunity to own a beautiful well cared for original classic truck to enjoy car shows and Sunday drives.

You can put an ad in a traderonline.com publication. (http://www.traderonline.com/) It will run until it is sold and it will get national exposure. You can also try running it through a Kruse auction in your area. (http://www.kruseinternational.com/home/index.asp)

Welcome to the board! I know of several on-line classic car sites I can PM them to you if you like but why sell???

You might want to try ebay, with a truck that nice it might bring in some decent money.

Beautiful truck...

Sharp as a tack !!!!

Thanks for your feedback. I'll look into your suggestions.
I hate to sell this one, it has been with me for years. Now that I've dumped all this time and cash into this thing the last thing I want to do is go drive it and beat it up. Looking to resto-mod and old 69 convert Camaro for a cool driver next. Anybody know where I can dig up an old 69 convert Camaro that is not too original to feel guilty about a resto-mod, but preferably a driver thats complete?
This board is great! Thanks for your feedback.
