Another Nice Bay Find- '68 Calif. Shorty - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Coley · 01-09-2015, 02:12 PM

Saw this nice little '68 Shortbed on Ebay.
....looks very stock and unmolested, which is always a great way to find them.
Always interesting is the amount of bidding interest that certain trucks get and I'm always still amazed at the appeal of the high condition stock trucks....prior to the lowering and mod operations.
I think this would be a good candidate to keep original myself...but thats just me.
Enjoy:

it had 24 bids and reserve not met at 6900.00, someone must have made a deal later , I would like to get that sleeper, that's a clean truck

I think that is a good example of the right presentation helping out the sale.
The truck looked good in the first auction, but it looks much better in the second one. The pictures are much, much better so makes the whole truck seem to be worth more.

Buddy missed it on Craigslist for 10k. Owner told him he sold it to a dealer(current seller) he was sick he missed it.

**Already Gone** · 01-10-2015, 11:31 AM

Real nice original truck and although there is no reserve or it was met already and if the seller is not getting near what he/she wants they can pull the ad a day or so before the auction ends. I'll be following to see how it ends.

**leddzepp** · 01-10-2015, 12:10 PM

That's a nice truck. I wonder how many times it will get flipped before someone keeps it?

70 shorty · 01-10-2015, 12:10 PM

Man id sure like to have that!

jimbosprint · 01-10-2015, 12:35 PM

I wish I'd have found that in Paradise, CA from the original owner. That's 20 minutes from here. Oh well, mine has AC.

It didn't sell at 6900.00 it was bid to 6900.00 and it says reserve not met under the 6900.00. It had a Buy it Now of 12,000. When you open up the link click on the see original listing link.

That'd look great on the ground with some white+red painted rallies.
