what it looked like before the wreck, not the first time the truck was built just the latest.

cheyenneman · 06-18-2003, 03:58 AM

Man that sucks.

ZOOMY · 06-18-2003, 05:12 AM

Alot of work gone to waste there. Shaved drip rails, gutters, door handles. Totaled cab & probably frame. What happened ??

**JIMs70GMC** · 06-18-2003, 05:21 AM

Are there any track times?

lofly'a · 06-18-2003, 07:22 AM

i still have the original issue of sport truck on the build up, and will try to dig it up. i saw it at state fair park in '94 during it's first show tour and knew i had to have a 67-72.

Andrew68c10 · 06-18-2003, 10:36 AM

Why the hell was this truck on the street at all?!? It should be at the Guggenheim Museum or something!

Zumo · 06-18-2003, 11:45 AM

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The horror.....the horror........

VTKidder · 06-18-2003, 11:56 AM

Boy...that sux.

Is the truck built back up and on the road again??

BUXMAN66 · 06-18-2003, 01:30 PM

nope, it's on e-bay.

Zumo · 06-18-2003, 02:19 PM

Man WTF happened?!

Mark540 · 06-18-2003, 02:25 PM

That truck was truely awesome, but could it actually cost $90K to duplicate that, I tried adding things up with overages and even being done by outside sources and my number doesn't reach half that. $36K in the motor! You can transplant a Ferrari V-12 cheaper than that!!!!

69sixpackbee · 06-18-2003, 04:15 PM

I agree with Mark....unfortunate, yes, but 90K? I seriously think not. If I had 90K in the bank I could do a near NOS rebuild on a '70 Super Bird with $$ to spare. It still sucks though

I can see selling it out of pure disgust and heartbreak..I probably would too.

*Pardue'sCustoms* · 06-18-2003, 10:45 PM

has any one got some pic. when it was traders 72

griesel72 · 06-18-2003, 11:11 PM

I agree, who was out driving this truck? I know people who don't have 90K in their house.

Are you talking about the traders truck when it was red black, and silver,

*Pardue'sCustoms* · 06-19-2003, 05:56 PM

YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME PIC. OF IT

bagged78 · 06-19-2003, 11:53 PM

This is close to what it looked like. I would like to see some old pics of it as well..

sweet n rare67 · 06-20-2003, 01:36 AM

Im just trying to to figure out how somone hits a truck like that??
what are they going to say they by some freak way did not see it or something? I mean really how could you not see it?
although 90k sounds kinda high that is still one of the nicest trucks that was ever built

sbrban · 06-20-2003, 01:40 AM

and my wife says I'm a packrat...

sbrban · 06-20-2003, 01:42 AM

ZOOMY · 06-23-2003, 09:39 PM
