2700 mile 66 SWB on ebay - not mine
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
2756 actual miles? Whoa! A new low as far as I've seen, yet has new body and bed paint, tires, brakes, and judging by the cell phone pics the seller sent me, a slight degree of wear/age considering the total lack of use. ?? Hmmm ...I would have liked to have seen it "before". Last edited by oem4me; 05-26-2011 at 12:57 AM. |

That's crazy. While I have an appreciation for low mileage classics, trucks were built to be driven. I feel bad for the truck.

Re: 2700 mile 66 SWB on ebay - not mine
the numbers are not even on the speedo; the 7 seems high and should be in alignment with the one on either side at that mileage

Re: 2700 mile 66 SWB on ebay - not mine
Yeah, I would want to see some documentation with claiming that low of mileage. Very little info and pics. Something doesn't add up but nice truck none the less.

Re: 2700 mile 66 SWB on ebay - not mine
I agree, if he is stating orig miles you would think he would have more of a discription and seem more eager to tell you about it. If he's sending cell phone pics then something isn't quite right. Maybe 2700 since restroation? I've heard about people resetting the speedo after a frame off, maybe that's the case here

Re: 2700 mile 66 SWB on ebay - not mine
He said it was painted in 08. I just can't wrap my head around why anything would need paint with that low of miles. Either way it's a pretty nice ol truck.

It really is a nice truck. Just wish he would have stated more and not have to contact him to get any details

Re: 2700 mile 66 SWB on ebay - not mine
If it were to be that low, maybe it just sat outside and needed paint, but I would have lots and lots of doubts about it until proven somehow.

The seller said it was unused due to the orig owner becoming disabled and the rest of the family never drove it because they were not familiar with a standard trans. It sat in a garage since forever. That much of the story is nearly identical to the history of my own 1966, 8900 miler. What is not the same is my truck is still totally untouched and looks fantastic, with three times the usage. Orig tires too. On the ebay truck, the wear and age present as well as the repaint work are a concern, though I don't necessarily disbelieve the guy. |

Re: 2700 mile 66 SWB on ebay - not mine
Ha. I agree. I mean if I was selling a no-kidding 2700 mi truck, i'd have 50 pics of it in there. Yep, something's not adding up. I smell big trouble in little china.
