I... can't... help... myself...
 

Bad timing as usual, but I had to have this one. Original paint, one owner, has a couple dings and needs interior but very little rust and very original. v8/auto, ps, tint, otherwise base model. And it's one of my favorite colors, 1970 501 medium blue. Trailered it home today...

My wife is an animal lover. I’m going to use that line on her next time I bring a truck home:lol:

Re: I... can't... help... myself...
 

Wow that’s a nice one.

Re: I... can't... help... myself...
 

But darlin', ...

Re: I... can't... help... myself...
 

I have zero doubts that you are going to make this a happy truck.

Re: I... can't... help... myself...
 

68bowtie, do you plan on restoring the camper shell?

Re: I... can't... help... myself...
 

Very cool
Looks like the v8 was added ?

Have you determined if there is enough blue paint
under all the oxidation for a good buffing ?

Does it run ?

Tags say 2017, no back fees , non op ?

Nice find !
Sometimes they still happen to be holed up
In someone’s backyard

Re: I... can't... help... myself...
 

Honestly I don't know much about camper shells. Is this worth restoring??

CE model # so this came standard with a 307.

Exactly the right amount of sparkly blue paint will be left once buffed and detailed. :)

It ran pretty smooth actually, until the fuel pump died trying to load it on the trailer. Fingers crossed the drivetrain won't need a lot right away.

Tags are current believe it or not!

Yup, they are getting pretty much impossible to find these days even in my region.

I appreciate that! The plan is for a grandpa style refresh just like Vitamin C, only with paint like the Blue Bomb...
