Sold my 71 gmc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Today I sold my 71 gmc. I'm going to miss olive. Reason for selling. I did not drive it enough and was just taking up space that being said I still did not want to let it go. There will be another someday I did keep the buckets seats and original gmc tail gate along with a bunch other other odds and ends.
https://youtu.be/yuPSutkS-LY. Hope old olive has has a good nother 50 years. RIP 3rd gear.

I know I'm going to regret selling it. I already kida do. But on the brite side I can now shift more attention and money to my 07 classic.

72supr · 10-01-2020, 10:47 AM

Out of curiosity where did it go.

A guy local to me bought it for his kid to drive around for a while. Then he is going to use it. So I might still get to see it once in a while.

Would you mind telling us what you got for it ? I am contemplating offering mine also as it just sits now...thanks..

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-01-2020, 11:42 AM

Sorry to see it go. I hope you can get another one when you're ready.

**lolife99** · 10-01-2020, 01:03 PM

All I know is the next one will be more expensive.
I sold a few of mine several years ago and all they’ve done is go up in price.
If you have a nice one you better hold on to it.

**truckster** · 10-01-2020, 01:28 PM

Yep, if you want to drive one you need to hold onto it. They're getting crazy expensive. I couldn't afford my Blazer if I had to buy it now.

Still, I'm glad your 71 is going to someone who will drive it and use it. I support the free market and I understand the business model, but I still dislike flippers.

Most of us have been in your shoes, but there WILL be another!

I sold a few, the last one I liked but I smile every day about the glorious divorce it paid for. No more redhead, and no more selling trucks lol
