That is cool

...and it isn't far away from me.

So Ken, how have things been? We haven't heard from you in a while.

ElGracho · 02-11-2005, 08:53 PM

Cool. These are pretty uncommon that's for sure. From the listing it sounds like it's in pretty rough shape. Sounds really familiar to my Indy Hauler. It just needs a new bed, cab, doors, fenders and hood the rest is great!

Can you buy the decals new? Wonder how that would look on a crew cab dually?

**N2TRUX** · 02-11-2005, 10:24 PM

Too bad it's in such rough shape. Thats a color combo that I would love to have....

I agree with you about the engine

. Back in the day, GM included a number of these GMC Street Coupes and Chevy Sports in their press pool to circulate between various car magazines for testing, and they were usually equipped with the 454 to provide the performance to back up the image. As a result, some of the magazines even mistakenly represented the 454 as a standard part of the package.

Given that, it is funny how few real world examples actually were optioned with big blocks. A while back, one of these Street Coupe/Sport models-another '79- -even appeared on eBay with its original 250 six!
