The price is 12,000 and is a perfectly fair price for this truck, I've listed the replacements - do the math yourself. If you call and low ball me, after I get a good laugh, I'll hang up.

When a seller feels compelled to attempt to convince potential buyers that the asking price is 'perfectly fair' before they've even called, he's indicating that even he doesn't really believe it's perfectly fair to ask that much for it. Has been stated a thousand times on here - the $ a seller sinks into a truck to sell it has no relation to its actual worth in most cases. What I can say, is that if I'm on the fence interested in a truck - when the ad is written like this, I normally just pass to avoid the hassle.

I believe they all belonged to a board member That use to be on here.

There are a batch of other small items replaced like little switches, wiper blades, antenna and plenty of things I've forgotten about as I write this ad.

Pretty sure it's not the original motor in it. Doesn't the AC live on the passenger side of the engine not the alternator???

302 is an overbored 283. Guaranteed that isn't original, unless they sleeved the snot out of a 350. The 283 was discontinued in '67 (replaced by the 307 in '68), IIRC. Maybe they meant 307.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds

factory 302 from a first gen Z28? we discovered a corvette engine ordered in one recently :lol:

destroked 327, 283 crank btw.. bore/stroke makes it over square and higher RPMs <-- ;)

Yeah, there's a lot of bull droppings around when you go to buy stuff. Sad thing is, the current owner believes it, hook line and sinker. One of my younger sisters bought a '66 Chevelle with a "4-bolt main 350". When it came time for a rebuild, I pulled it out and found a small main journal 327. That's what got put back in, too. She was really disappointed, but had been driving it for many years, none the wiser.

I feel like I "need" this truck. As usual, cost way more to build than what he is selling for.

"completely professional restoration with every part new and nut and bolt replaced"

No it's not professionally restored. It's a restomod or just call it a one of a kind custom.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds

Another nice one with a realistic price tag:

Semantics. You get what you see in the pics. He used words that meant something to him. Everybody does it, he's not trying to "trick" anybody, give the guy a break.

Now if he says frame off restoration and doesn't show you a pic under the truck, THEN I could see talking some crap on the guy.

Beautiful truck! Not so sure about that “10 to 2 compression” on the motor tho :frog:

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds

These are starting to show up on Bringatrailer, this one just jumped from $9500 to $20,000 in one step. Interior color seems odd compared to exterior and the undercarriage is way too crusty for the $$$. What do you think?

Words like nut and bolt restoration means a close to 100 point concours restoration, not a box of aftermarket parts bolted in and custom items. Sorry, been around judged cars since the late 80's. If everybody is doing it? Then they are all wrong.

Yes, I realize it’s worh whatever someone will pay, but that doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal. (To be clear, not talking about this particular truck - speaking in general across the market at the moment).

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds

Not mine but thought some one might have an interest.https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/...656723366.html

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds

meh, seller is quite up front of what he's selling, including a laundry list of all the aftermarket brand names..

as well as several high resolution, top to bottom, front to back, inside and out pictures to leave no question as to what it is..

highly doubt the seller is the builder here, likely a semi-wealthy customer bored with his new toy..

and either way, there's no dispute it was absolutely done professionally..

nut-and-bolt to me means every part and assembly taken down to its smallest component and replaced or refinished..

and several synonyms for restoration that could be used in multiple context..

we see the common con artists rear its ugly head quite often, but this isn't one here.. seller's shootin' straight..

as for the truck, it's way out of my league but I would certainly consider it long before ever stepping foot in a dealer ;)

cheers all and good luck shopping!

Very good condition 10' Alaskan NCO pop-up $1800
If this were an 8 footer, I'd be sharing what I'd just bought in a different thread - just not a fan of driving with the gate down and the camper extending all the way to the end of it. But still, a real nice Alaskan. Now if only I could find an 8' version in similar condition, in Texas...
