IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT VINTAGE CHEVROLET PICKUP - EITHER TO USE AS A DAILY DRIVER OR TO DO A FULL SCALE RESTORATION ON....PLEASE CONSIDER THIS UNMOLESTED....NEVER RUSTED - AT ALL....( FROM ARIZONA) ALL ORIGINAL 1971, CYLINDER; 3 'ON THE COLUMN' MANUAL SHIFT.
I LIVE IN VA AND FLEW TO AZ 5 YEARS AGO AND DROVE THIS HOME TO VIRGINIA! I DID A 'DRIVER'S RESTORATION - AS I USED AS A DAILY DRIVER.....NO ISSUES.... HAVE KEPT IT GARAGED SINCE HERE IN VIRGINIA. I PUT IN A FEW NEW PARTS - INCLUDING - NEW FUEL PUMP, EW STARTER, EW ALTERNATOR, EW BATTERY, EW EXHAUST MANIFOLD, XHAUST PIPE, A PIONEER STEREO W BACK OF THE CAB SPEAKERS, ND A NEW PAINT JOB...NOW ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD. THE COLOR IS ONE OF CHEVY'S ORIGINAL COLORS FROM THAT ERA....IT WAS ORIGINALLY BLUE AND NOW IS A GREENISH TURQUOISE...( IT IS HARD TO SHOW EXACT COLOR IN PICS, UT IT IS A HEAD TURNER!!)
REASON I GOT THIS TRUCK WAS TO USE AS A DAILY DRIVER WHICH I HAVE...IT RUNS FINE/SMOOTH, HIFTS FINE, IGHT FRONT END; AND CAN BE DRIVEN ANYWHERE. (I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT ABOUT 5000 MILES IN 5 YEARS)..... IT IS PAINTED AN ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE DAY (I THINK IT IS PAINT #152) .......BUT IT IS NOT PAINTED THE ORIGINAL LIGHT BLUE ...OF THIS TRUCK. IT IS MORE OF A BLUE GREEN WITH THE WHITE TOP -JUST AS THE ORIGINAL HAD. ( I JUST LIKED THIS COLOR MOST! AND AS I SAID IT WAS HARD TO SHOW EXACT COLOR IN THE PICS DUE TO SUNLIGHT/TIME OF DAY) THE PAINT JOB IS GOOD/PROFESSIONAL - BUT NOT 'RESTORATION QUALITY'. I HAD A LOCAL AUTO SHOP DO IT FOR 1200.00.....BUT THE BODY IS PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, ND (BED AND INSIDE CAB ALSO PAINTED)!LOOKS REALLY GOOD....I GET LOTS OF COMPLEMENTS ON ITS ORIGINAL GOOD LOOKS. A FEW VERY SMALL DINGS HERE AND THERE, UT OVERALL A STRAIGHT BODY....NO EVIDENCE OF EVER HAVING BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEVER HAVING HAD ANY RUST.
CHECK THE PICTURES AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. THIS IS A GOOD SOLID TRUCK AND I HAVE ENJOYED IT FOR 5 YEARS.....AND NOW MOVING ON TO A NEW PROJECT....I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL 'FRAME OFF' RESTORER.....BUT I AM A TRAINED MECHANIC NOW RETIRED FROM THE US ARMY....AND HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THIS OLD TIMER. THE TRUCK STARTS INSTANTLY - ALWAYS ....AND RUNS SMOOTHLY. HAND CHOKE BUT THE MECHANICALS ARE THERE ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IF YOU WANT TO CONVERT. THIS TRUCK IS TIGHT ...NO SHIMMYS, ND IS HAPPY DOING 70 DOWN THE HIGHWAY....IT IS READY TO GO AND YOU CAN EITHER HAUL OR DRIVE IT HOME.
Now for the fine print. I know that this truck will be worth more if you are a professional restorer and complete as a --frame off restoration'........but that was not my intention. I enjoyed it and did all repairs, aintenance ...as a - -driver restoration' ...kept it clean and running well.....I feel this truck is worthwell more but I am doing a no reserve auction starting at 6000.00 so it will go to one lucky bidder.....If you are looking for a solid head turner to drive or modify....this is your gem. I am sure - you will not find a nicer unmolested truck on ebay for any price!
Good luck bidding and feel free to ask any questions. Please do not bid unless you are serious....If you have less than 5 feedbacks or low feedback please contact me before bidding or I may cancel your bid. I am a long term/honest ebayer and expect to deal with same. Thanks, nd good luck, Isaac G., Retired (35 YEARS) US Army
