'70 Chevy for sale - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Charlie Coleman · 09-16-2003, 12:03 PM

I may have to sell this truck. A few years ago I co-signed a loan for a friend to start a business. He defaulted, filed bankruptcy, and now the bank's attorneys are after me. I don’t really want to sell, but my attorney says it would be in my best interest to offer a settlement in cash. So, here it is:

I bought this truck from Tracy Focht a few months ago. I have tons of pictures he sent me. I will be glad to forward them on. The truck is nice and fast. I had it appraised last month for $12,000. I’m asking $10,500/obo. Please no tire kickers.

Excerpts from Tracey’s post or emails describing the truck to me:
Truck has a brand new paint job done by TDS Customs in Winfield, KS. Replaced fender, new rockers and shaved chrome off. Burgundy in color up top with white on bottom with custom painted tribal flames down the side. Flames go all the way around cab and bed inside, and marble grey graphics inside flame. New Chevrolet tailgate band, new windshield and rubber, and door seal rubber. New window tint. All steel Goodmark hood, 16 gal aluminum fuel cell mounted underneath bed with Holley black fuel pump, braided 8-an fuel line to carb. Access hole to Fuel cell is cut into bed, was going to build custom door and have bed Rhino lined (will not be done for sale). Interior has split seats with console and cup holders, 5" tach with shift light and separate oil/temp gauges all new. New carpet a year ago, and new Grant steering wheel. Wheels are 15x7/15x10 Cragar street star with BFGoodrich tires.

Drivetrain:
Motor was just built by Morton Racing Engines of Coweta, Ok and installed in February, so has less than 3000 miles. Motor is a 2 bolt main 406, Eagle rotating assembly with cast steel crank, SIR 6.0" eagles rods, JE/SRP forged pistons and file fit rings. Pioneer damper and chrome two piece timing chain cover, 11:1 compression with Comp 294 solid cam (248@.050 and .560 lift) with Comp Pro Magnum 1.6 rockers, Comp pushrods. Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads, 215cc runners and 2.05/1.60 vales, 72cc combustion chambers, performance valve job and double checked by Morton's before assembly. HPC coated Edelbrock RPM intake, ½" spacer and Holley 750 HP series race carb (73 primary/ 78 secondary).Aluminum water pump and radiator, Edelbrock braided carb kit with plate, MSD Pro Billet distributor and brand new MSD6AL box, brand new Accel 8.8mm wires. HPC coated headers (Hedman 1 5/'8th with 3" collectors) into 2.5" pipe into 40 series Flowmasters. Tranny is TH350 by Transmission Plus of Stillwater, built for street/race, brand new Torco 3500 stall into 4.11 12 bolt rear-end with mini spool.
Truck is awesome street truck, with 13.21@100 MPH ET's un-tuned so far this year. Truck is easily capable of 12's on motor alone. I bought the high output chrome alt that is now on the truck. It's a Powermaster 140 amp alt as well.

What are friends for?

I hope it does not come to this, I could tell you really liked this truck. Good luck to you Charlie.

Charlie Coleman · 09-16-2003, 12:25 PM

Thanks Jeff. I do like this truck. Just sitting in this thing with it idling makes it all worth while.

Believe it or not, I am still friends with my buddy who defaulted on the loan. I don't know why. I know his financial situation, and understand why he filed. He had three failed businesses. I just made a bad decision a few years ago, that I will have to handle.

jabarlow · 09-16-2003, 12:45 PM

Charlie, I think I lost something in that truck when you took me for a drive. I believe it might of been 10 yrs off my life. This truck will get up and throw you back

Yellow Cheyenne · 09-16-2003, 12:56 PM

TTT. I'm usually not much of a fan of custom paint schemes, but I have always liked that one. Good luck with what ever happens.

dinnut · 09-16-2003, 11:32 PM

sell it to someone and buy it back dude. or is that illegal or something

Slick71 · 09-16-2003, 11:47 PM

Hope you don't have to sell it Charlie....I remember seeing some posts about it when Tracy had it and it looks like an awesome truck.

I remember that he really didn't want to sell it either.

I don't think he is selling it to hide assets, I think he is selling it so he can make a settlement on the loan.

Charlie Coleman · 09-17-2003, 09:50 AM

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I am selling it for the settlement. My house has been on the market for a few months (reason for selling unrelated). I was hoping to have it sold before we had to settle to pay off the debt. But have not sold the house and the bank's attorneys are gung-ho. Besides, the longer this drags out, the more it cost me in attorney fees.

Charlie, maybe these lawyers will take the truck off your hands as the "settlement" and use it to chase ambulances with.

Charlie Coleman · 09-17-2003, 03:58 PM

CPNE, the truck is fast enough to catch any ambulance in town.....maybe I'll have my attorney make that suggestion. Thanks

Charlie, I know if its not what you want to here, but have thought about ebaying it? Im sure you will get more than you are asking on ebay. I have seen less go for more. Good Luck.

Charlie Coleman · 09-22-2003, 03:15 PM

Thanks 68 Suburban. I may try that next. I thought I would offer it here first. Hope your trip to IL goes well.

Tracy Focht · 09-22-2003, 06:23 PM

Charlie, I was sooo glad when you bought it, because after meeting you I knew it had a good home, and awesome new owner. I could sleep at night if you know what I mean.
I do understand your situation, and just upsets me you have to make this sacrafice like this after everything.

I can vouch Charlie is a stand up guy, and that this truck is solid.(yea I know, how would I know...

)

But I wished I had the moeny to buy it back with my new one...now that would be a dream come true.

Good luck Charlie, and i will pass this along.

Charlie Coleman · 09-22-2003, 06:35 PM

Thanks Tracy! I just got off the phone with my attorney. They will settle for a little less ($11k) if I pay them off in 30 days. I'm heading to Ebay with it. Wish me luck!
