Tough to say lately, I think its worth his opening bid plus $5-7K minimum. Per a couple of earlier post, I believe 71 is the last year for the powerglide trans. Mel

Here some pics of Larry (Harleys 4 you) 67 Hope you don't mind...



Looks like you have a real tough decision.
Awesome trucks!

Not liking the 6cyl, but sure liking the truck, low miles or not it is a sweet short box. Not so sure on the 15 g's though.

I am a naysayer. I am speechless

I'm not trying to talk this truck up, but if that ain't the cutest little ol' truck I've ever seen! If I had the space for another vehicle, I'd be clicking "Bid Now" in a heartbeat. They're only original one time. Very, very tempting. I LIKE it.

The point was the "hail repair" My body man does hail repair, but its plastered across the side of the building. lol. And you can only pick your neighbors if you own everything around you.

The photos on the link are AWESOME!!! Nice piece of history! Good Luck with the sale!

Beautiful freeze frame vehicle. Excellent history lesson on the way an unaltered base model vehicle should look like.What is shocking is how few vehicles are restored to look like this.Bling is over rated. It looks like a traditional no nonsense pickup, not a race car. Similar to a Rembrandt painting of the automotive world, only a fool would try to alter it.

Very nice and well worth it. I would love to have it myself, but wouldn't want to drive it

[Harleys 4 You]

Thanks! I'm hoping to be able to get some more pictures added to it tomorrow. I've had some requests for more and am hoping that it will be a little warmer tomorrow to get them taken.

Thats a really nice truck, I must say.
For me tho'...it just wouldn't work. Unfortunately, I would always want to drive it....and that is the one thing...that would de-value this particular example with that kind of original mileage. Plus, I just couldn't afford to lock it away or have it just for display purposes.
Regardless, I hope a serious collector with the funds, space and time to set it up goes for it!!!
Good Luck!

I just checked out the documentation for this truck on this photo bucket link, and man, it is over the top!! AWESOME. http://s1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/harleyswanted/
The build sheet still has the original carbon paper attached!! Awesome!
Very very nice truck.

Chevy began using stainless bumper bolts on white painted pickup bumpers in 1966. If the bumper bolts were painted white on this '71, it would be a dead giveaway someone repainted the bumpers.This truck is as authentic as they come.

[House13]

Well at least now I know that I need new bolts for my '71.
I think it looks kind of tacky myself, but stock rocks!

If I was in the market right now, I would buy it in an instant if the bottom is as clean as the top.

[67swb72klb]

[House13]

$3278.35.

Stock only rocks if you like it that way, (on the bumper bolts being different) but the truck sure is nice though.

Pretty interesting, looks like they traded a 57 Chrysler and a 53 chevy pickup for it straight up. Got it for free!

It looks like after trading those two vehicles the balance owed was $2,250.

For less than $500 more you could have 4wd,V8,Custom Deluxe,locking hubs,HD radiator,chrome hubcaps,and a couple other things. Check it out,they guy put down a big fat 20 for a deposit then came back with cash and drove it off...with no insurance. My how things have changed.

IT SOLD!! (Well, at least someone bid on it - and the reserve was the starting price apparently - so it will be going to a new owner eventually when the bid is over).

Lucky bum! Wish I could grab it, but no place to put it. Oh yeah, and no money

Hope to see it on this site in about 5 days!!

[mud.man.rj]

Hope to see it on this site too, nothing like an old almost new Gm.

[Dingfodgy]

Hope the new owner will actually drive it. If I could own it, I'd pull the motor, tranny, springs, shocks, spindles, gauge cluster and rims-swap 'em out for late model stuff (V8, 200-4r, drop spindles, lowered springs and 20's) and roll this sucker with a big ole S.E.G. on my face!
Naturally I'd keep it in a garage, and take exceptional care of the paint and interior...but I'd drive it every freakin' day!
If and when it came time to sell- I'd put it all back to original and probably make my money back and then some.

250 , auto fan shroud, I''ll buy it if you decide to part the truck, lol. I would like to find a shroud like that though. Would like to see more pic of the engine compartment along with the auto trans set up. Very nice truck, good luck with it.

Someone put a bid on it a few days ago and then retracted it, thats the problem with ebay!
