She wanted $125 for it (72 Chevy Truck)
anyways before Christmas ,,and then she found out the guy bagged on her..so here I come along and offer $80..
Body is in good shape and the hood didn't open ,,even if I wanted to use jumper cables ,,so I pushed it and it and it doesn't run ..but,,I knew that pretty much going in...not a bad looking ol truck ,,paint is different as it's black with orange mostly .. .Shes having to move out soon ,,she told me that her pardner of 25 years left her and she needs the money,,and that the women that left her is treating her mean and she needs to get rid a lot in a hurry,,, house is in forecloser to boot ,,,,so the chair in the bed and a empty beer keg,,, and a older Barbeque I just figured I would just take on home with me ..what the heck right? I sorta wanted to get away soon anyway ..I think maybe I heard the wife calling..lol So when I went to pay her for it she said ,,she only wanted $75 ,,so,,,,,,, thats what I paid and brought it home.. took the stuff out of the truck bed today and thought I would just shelve it for now and wait a few days and then really look it over and see why such a good deal..or was it a good deal? lol Weird or what?

Re: She wanted $125 for it (72 Chevy Truck)
This is a true story ,,didn't make it up,,it just came about as I went to the womens house to look at her truck and she shared all this with me ..( I guess I am a person who people want to share their problems with) and I believe many on here know me well enough to vouch for me telling it truthful.. as for pictures ,,my camera has a shutter problem and wont open,, just thought that this purchase was so unusal that it would make for an interesting discussion that maybe others have had when buying a truck..
Now ,,I got to admit ,,my story has a twist to it,,and again some folks on here has wittnessed a story or two before like mine ,,...so either stay with me on this or never learn the rest of the story.. LOL ....I gotta say ,,don't blame you for doubting it. though.Now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Any questions ? :-)

Re: She wanted $125 for it (72 Chevy Truck)
I believe u man. I want to know was her name Butch by any chance!
If so skip the picture of her and post one of the women that left her! When u get the camera fixed post one of the truck, even the gas grille and chair!

Re: She wanted $125 for it (72 Chevy Truck)
Fish story huh? ,,,Trolling ?? Dang,, ,,wish I had a working camera... I ask for it didnt I ? LOL I opened the door of the truck today and turned the steeing wheel and the front tires turned with it ..but feels sorta like flat tires ,,maybe need the motor running for the power steering ,,you think? ,,.. I also got down underneath it and looked up to see if maybe the latch to the hood is broken and find the reason the hood wont open ,,but it's not visiable enough to see clearly.. got any ideas?

Re: She wanted $125 for it (72 Chevy Truck)

Yeah,none of the diecast trucks have opening hoods,except the Hiway 61s. I paid $75 for this one with Eagle graphics in mint condition...zero miles! I hope yours is in the same condition. Was it still in the box and all?

Re: She wanted $125 for it (72 Chevy Truck)
What kinda beer was in the keg? Was it flat? That's cool! A free keg and a free chair! Set it up in front of your house, drink beer and stair at your new truck!
