Any suggestions?

Dear vcgrease,

I am very interested in the Corvette side of this truck as it sounds very rare.

Do you have the original engine? Do you have the original frame? Do you have the original box and was it a longbox?

Can you please post a picture of the inside of the glove box listing the options?

So what is left of the original corvette truck? Just the cab?

Do you have documents that show the corvette heritage?

You mention heavy duty trans came with it as part of the corvette package, what trans is this and do you still have it?

- northerngmc

And this is what he sent back in about 10 minutes

Dear northerngmc,
The tranny was just a TH400. Nothing too special. It was a long box, but I bought it pretty much as you see it. My father in law actually did all the work before I bought it from him which is how I met his daughter but that's another story. THe original engine threw a rod out the block. The original bed and frame were crushed by a falling tree in a storm. If this truck were restored to it's best it might sell for around $25K give or take. In showroom numbers matching condition it would sell in the range of twice that. I actually had never heard of the corvette specials until I bought this truck and confirmed it's history with my friends' uncle who headed the Corvette line in the early 70's.

- vcgrease

I guess the paperwork is gone!

I wonder what rare and high performance options he told him his daughter came with? I hope he diddn't get taken in that deal also!

northerngmc · 02-06-2008, 09:59 AM

Hammer is down, I BOUGHT IT!

LOL, 0 bids..........

No sale.........

cameeks · 02-06-2008, 06:12 PM

Well I'll put my rare '69 long bed up for sale. It has the bed mounted to a trailer with ratchet straps. 2002 seats (very rare option for 1969), H4 headlights, CD player with SD slot (only one available in 1969)' oh and a Nuclear reactor under the hood. Only $125 but would sell through a high end auction for 5 million.

Joes69c10 · 02-06-2008, 07:00 PM

Setting here thinking about it we should have got ahold of his uncle so he could tell us all about this special corvette truck assembly line. At the same time ask him why they would be lwb 8 lug trucks and why was the corvette trucks 3/4 tons, but marked as c/10's. It's a wonder he didn't put the bed is from a special rocket truck edition which of course up's the value at least 10,000. Or maybe if he would throw in the flux capacitor we could travel back in time to save it from being hit by a tree....What a load of bs. I don't think I could live with myself going on like that.

Gray Ghost · 02-06-2008, 09:45 PM

Man, you get all kinds....you gotta watch 'em. He's as full of crap as anyone I've seen on ebay lately. Unfortunately someone will probably buy the truck and the "legend" will continue.

sleepyboy · 02-06-2008, 11:28 PM

Anyone know if the Brooklyn Bridge is still for sale? I'd have to make payments though. I love how all the payments on tv are EASY payments.

chipflyer · 02-13-2008, 11:59 AM

You guys remember the rare GMC on ebay a couple of years ago that had the "rare and valuable" 4 head light option? That's the one I will never forget.

Make sure you get that Corvette option RPO so you can start putting it on SPID's.

chipflyer · 02-13-2008, 12:41 PM

Well, I did run across this one, I think it was an original...

Jeff

BigSky71 · 02-13-2008, 12:43 PM

LMAO! You know I heard one time from a guy that used to have a friend that worked for Chevy that if you take valve covers from an old corvette that say "corvette" on them and install them on any motor then you then officially have a corvette motor... yea totally awesome!

LOL!! I wonder what the 1F7610 "Fake Label" option was?

Thats there to "hopefully" keep someone later on from saying that it is a real label.

70 shorty · 02-14-2008, 02:49 AM

I'm betting that truck originall had the Corvette IRS under it too, but that got switched out. I don't know why ya'll are questioning the 8 lugs, everyone knows it's harder to break the studs off an 8 lug wheel than a 5 lug wheel, that's why all Corvettes came from the factory with 8 lug wheels. BTW, my friends uncle has the first Corvette ever made!

lumpy81 · 02-14-2008, 03:01 AM

I still think my chevelle optioned 68 gmc is better.

jgrh64 · 02-14-2008, 03:36 AM

Well the color is a little bit close

im glad my cars and trucks are nothing special at all, they seem to be more rare than anything nowadays!

Nope mine has the LS-6 454 I6 motor from a 55 Corvette!
