I'd have gone after this 68 burb. Did a board member get it?

That is nice, but $8200 isn't that much money. It's not exactly pocket change either, guess it just depends on how bad someone wants it.

I bet he paid the body shop $8,000 for the work they did + everything else. That looked like a good deal to me.

Longhorn Man · 06-30-2002, 01:25 PM

MMmm, that DOES look nice. If it is represented prperly, that was pretty cheap too.
Something about this engine don't sit right with me....

I think the fact that everything on it was painted...kinda raises a flag...

*racedvl* · 06-30-2002, 10:27 PM

That burb is sweet! Period.

fluffytx1 · 06-30-2002, 10:29 PM

no complaints on looks but price YIKES!

Longhorn Man · 06-30-2002, 10:32 PM

H*ll, that is a good price if it is as nice as claimed. I also kinda wonder about all the sheet metal being chainged out.

CE20934 · 07-01-2002, 02:22 PM

True I'm going off the specs for my '67, but the only stock o/d trans I know of is a 3spd with the mechanical/vacuum-shifted o/d on the tailhousing.

**68SWB4x4** · 07-01-2002, 02:54 PM

the engine has overspray all over the hoses and alt bracket, for how damn nice the outside looks youd think they would be a little more careful with the spray bomb

Low69CST · 07-01-2002, 03:04 PM

Looks good in the pictures. Maybe i'm just paranoid about ebay selling trucks, but that burb seems shady as an oak tree.

**68SWB4x4** · 07-01-2002, 06:16 PM

exactly what i thought when i first saw it

ebfabman · 07-01-2002, 06:26 PM

Looks good in the pics, but I'd sure want to see it up close before bidding on it. even if it was given to him, he probably has more than $8200 in it for sure.

And no A/C. Rare factory o/d trans???
