Well, the seller is Cars from Dreams! <GGG> BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

It might be restored, but it's not correct

I just read in the July issue of Automobile magazine that the same truck just sold at auction for $39,600. I thought that was top dollar for the truck after reading about it. I understand that it is a very nice pick-up, and well cheaper than what it would cost to make one that way, but the buyer obviously thinks he got a great deal and is immediately flipping it.
Good luck with that. I hope he gets it as that just increases the value of mine.Jon Stalnaker

Some guys like over (and incorrectly) restored trucks.
Remember the neat Dodge Power Wagon with some gold plated trim that sold for big bucks at B-J a couple of years ago?
I guess it's the fad at the country club...an over the top truck is probably seem as more tasteful than an over the top custom or 59 Caddy.63 Avanti R1 2788

I am not a truck expert, but I remember an E5 as being a six cylinder. If it was an E7 it would be a V8. Therefore, how can this truck have its original 259 V8?Gary L.
