Wow includes truck and trailer too :-)

 

Good deal

 

Now there's a real Daily Driver.

 

Easy to go fast with a blown big block. I want to see a N/A v6 up there!

 

I would estimate the truck alone, being a Lariat but 2WD by the looks of it, is worth $30-35k easily...that seems like a strong deal to me. Wonder if the car needs more than a clutch???

 

Ad says "65k (firm)", so it ain't gonna be a cheap 3rd gen!

 

Do want. Don't have $65k, though. Oh well, still want.

 

If the guy wants $65k firm, why bother wasting time starting the bidding at $25k? Just make it a classified ad or start it at $65k and be done with it, weed out the dreamers right away.

 

Its called "Auction Fever". Start the price at 65k & you'll have few start bidding on it. Start it low & those that do not pay attention to the rrserve price can get swept up & carried away with bidding.

I also suspect that his first listing somewhere else had the 65k price & he just Copy & Paste the text over to eBay, without thinking about the price listed there, so his actual Reserve could be lower.

I'll be watching it like most everyone here, just to see what it goes for, if it sells.

 

This is sooo borderline being historical guys.

 

The thought crossed my mind, but it takes a SERIOUS amount of auction fever to run from 25k up to 65k.

 

Trailer 8000 truck 60,000 thirdgen Literally PriceLess...
And what about the fun you would have going 233 miles per hour ! And you can tow it in style for less than its worth

 

agreed

 

While the car is a Historical 3rd gen piece, the link is not about its historical nature to the 3rd gen community. It is a link to a legit For Sale item, so it is in the appropriate location on TGO.

 

I was thinking about it. But I need to rebuild my 9-bolt so can't afford both.

 

I wonder why when you are selling such a nice truck, nice trailer, and hot car, you wouldnt just replace the clutch? Thats a drop in the bucket compared to what he's selling it for. And it would only entice someone more...if thats all the car needed.

Not saying I think there is more wrong, merely saying if it were me I would fix the dang clutch haha.

J.

 

Fixing a clutch is work, though. Probably have something else they'd rather work on at this point if they're trying to sell it. I would have thought it'd be a pretty limited market for a car set up like that though. Is there much of a market for bonneville cars?

 

So bid 25k and get your name in the lime light for a few days.
