saw this on ebay, I wonder what the reserve is. sure looks all original could it really be only 200 miles? if so looks like something for joesjunk.

$9300 bucks wouldn’t buy it, personally I don’t think it’s worth much more than that (its just not a very handsome rig) but I wish him the best on getting his price, what ever it may be.

It does look to be in very good condition for the age. Also, looks like the very basic truck that one may buy on a budget. No AC, no radio, no extras at all. Definitely not worth the price!

**mongocanfly** · 02-07-2018, 11:15 PM

not saying it couldn't exist, but 210 orig miles? hard to believe...unless they had all kinds of documentation....on the other hand my 81 had 20200 original documented miles when I bought it..it came with all the service records since new..it lived in a fire dept all its life..
it is a super clean truck though...

4x4k30 · 02-08-2018, 01:36 AM

no way in hell.. its has more than 210 miles on it.. ray Charles could see that .

Tiger Joe · 02-08-2018, 08:24 AM

no way.

the guy claims he found it with only 81 miles on it- if you honestly found a 40 year old vehicle with 80 miles, why would you then put almost double that on it?

and the trucks got it share of bumps and bruises. still looks nice for a survivor, but that would be ALOT of bumps in 80 miles.

Maybe he drove it in the snow and when he wiped out he ripped the rear bumper off and dented the front of his new truck and it scared the heck out of him, Bought some snow tires but never got the balls to drive it again. And yes,what about a truck with 80 miles on it? I wouldn't be a driving that around town and say in my for sale ad that I might even do it some more...

200 miles does seem hard to believe. However, the missing rear bumper might actually support the low mileage claim in my mind. I’m old enough to remember back then that it was common to see brand new trucks driving down the road without the rear bumper. I think the rear bumper was an option back then. So if this truck was driven from a dealership and parked indefinitely the missing rear bumper would make sense.

**hatzie** · 02-08-2018, 10:38 AM

Take a look at the pedals. 200 miles would be ZERO wear.

**Palf70Step** · 02-08-2018, 10:44 AM

I am guessing they don't realize the odometer doesn't roll as high now days. Nice looking basic truck. Too many questionable areas that look redone to be what they say. I grew up in the northeast, so I know what happens to vehicles that saw any road use up there.

Tiger Joe · 02-08-2018, 02:16 PM

looking at this further more and more doesn't add up.

1- way too may rock chips for that few miles (looks at edges of fenders and bedsides)
2- wheel don't look original to me, look restored. looks like a see a painted wheel weight. don't think GM painted the wheel weights white did they?

all the nicks and chips on top of the tailgate- again how could you put that many in during 80 miles use?

obviously the underside has been painted. and done very poorly. looks to have been done some time again, but again if you only drove a truck 80 miles why would you paint the underside?

I watched barrett Jackson a few weeks back and a Delorean went thru with 600 miles on it and it was literally perfect. i just don't see any way possible you could put this much wear and tear on a truck in 80 miles.

it does look like a nice low mileage survivor, but to me it looks like 50 or 60k miles. ( I personally own 2 "survivor" cars with 40k each and they have less wear than this truck)

racerface · 02-08-2018, 02:41 PM

Someone trying to pull a fast one. What I can see it's a repaint. Look at the pic's enlarged. the pedals, THE ENGINE, front suspension, corners inside bed. I'd do $2500 maybe.

Dead Parrot · 02-08-2018, 06:01 PM

Looks like it has a new alternator and a partial redo on the exhaust. The exhaust tip looks original but the pipe to it looks replaced. Not sure what GM treated 75 exhaust pipes with but they should look more like that tip. Why would exhaust with 200 miles need replacing?

Anyone know what Grecian Bronze looks like? In those pics, that truck looks orange to me.

The instrument cluster does look nice and clean.

Wonder if the headlights are standard sealed beams or halogen?
