Re: Old Friend's Truck For Sale
Thanks for showing a picture. I should have thought of that
I remember seeing this truck at Super Chevy Shows at the local drag strip. It had the steering column, pedals, heater, e-brake assembly, and more chromed out as well as many things under hood. It was maybe '88 or so. I got on Facebook ten years ago last month. In '69, at the end of 8th grade I moved away from the area where I went to school with him. We were all car nuts back then, admiring the older guys' cars and building car models/HO tracks, and riding Sting Rays. I hooked up with a gal from back then through FB and ended up "friending" Carl. I had posted a picture of my truck at Carlisle or at work and he came along with, "Good to see another Chevy Man here". Maybe a year later he contacted me asking if I knew anyone that wanted to buy a truck and showed a picture. I instantly recognized it from 20 year prior and asked if he had it at the 75 & 80 Drag-A-Way Super Chevy show way back when. "That would be it", he said. I think he was looking to get $25k and he had just rebuilt the 454. I guess this dealer picked it up. You'd think a dealer would know how to present a vehicle. I messaged them asking why only multiple shots of only one side with no interior or under hood shots of Carl's great work? I haven't checked for a reply yet. I'm thinking it may have an irritated tone or just be ignored. I've seen it on Marketplace a while back. It showed up in a box when I went there last night. Probably be these for a while with the way it's being presented.
Tan interior? Must be color blind. Teal is more like GM's Dark Turquiose, too. I forgive. This dealer, like so many, knows less about these trucks than most members here.
