Hell just froze over.... Gumby is sold! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 03-02-2015, 03:33 PM

Well, never say never.... Gumby just went to a good home in Texas.

YBNORML · 03-02-2015, 03:34 PM

Always one of my favourites. But hey, you can't keep them all.

Money talks

john@thepier · 03-02-2015, 03:54 PM

Usually when a guy sells something it is because he has his eye on something else! Do tell?

RenoKeene · 03-02-2015, 03:57 PM

One of my favorites.

**michael bustamante** · 03-02-2015, 03:59 PM

i read the title and thought "the eagles got back together again!" is that showing my age or what?
thats a beautiful truck you sold there.

cooperhw · 03-02-2015, 04:20 PM

I have come to realize over the years of building cars (and years ago trucks) no matter how much I love em when building them and then driving/showing them eventually they sell. Kinda just caretakers for a period of time, then it's the next guys turn.
That's why I "never say never".

BLT gmc · 03-02-2015, 04:33 PM

WOW! I hope they put as much effort into caring for it as you put into it. Bruce

**lolife99** · 03-02-2015, 05:08 PM

Congrats again Rene.

**Boog** · 03-02-2015, 05:59 PM

Well Rene dont keep us hanging for long now. We're all waiting to see what you come up with next. Is it cold in here ? ��

67ChevyRedneck · 03-02-2015, 06:09 PM

Well, February was the coldest month on record for many areas in the US... makes sense...

Congrats on the sale. I'm sure it had to be one hell of a good offer to let that one go.

justin4260 · 03-02-2015, 06:15 PM

im 17 and immediately thought of the eagles

zamboni2354 · 03-02-2015, 06:37 PM

Rene,

tell the guy in TX to mail me those license plates since he won't need them =)

congrat's on the sale...i'm sure it was hard to see drive off.

Jeff in long beach.

jondancer · 03-02-2015, 07:53 PM

Man , that was one of my all time favorite 67-72. Trucks. How did it happen? Private sale ?

C/10 King · 03-02-2015, 08:11 PM

Thanks everybody for the kinds words and support!!!! The new owner is a very nice guy who tracked me down,

I'm sure he'll take good care of it and yes he is a member here, so hopefully he'll chime in soon.

It must be n2trux!
I always knew he was a 67-72 guy!

**special-K** · 03-02-2015, 08:53 PM

I know what's up. It's always the reason we sell our precious stock. You two are expecting a baby, right?

leftybass209 · 03-02-2015, 09:02 PM

At least I got to see it a couple times before it finds its home in Texas. Congrats on the sale!

Tinkermc · 03-02-2015, 10:20 PM

Well now you should have a nice size pile of Cash to replace it.

hdff · 03-02-2015, 10:45 PM

Hopefully that will be the Houston area . I would like to have an opportunity to see it up close...... Nice

preacher anthony · 03-02-2015, 11:07 PM

Well, I'll be......hard to believe. I always say everything has a price tag. One truly amazing truck. Thanks for answering my PM so quick.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-03-2015, 12:15 AM

Huh!!!! Oh well i know that either you have something going on in the wings or it was just an offer too good to pass up. Congrats on the sale and congrats to the new owner. He has purchased one nice truck!!!

You got it, brother. Not a word. Whatever you do, don't mention anything on the internet and you should be fine.
