Purchasing this truck will be a great
opportunity for someone. It’s a chance to really take advantage of
this down economy and purchase a beautiful custom truck for what
is likely less then half of what it would cost to build
it.
In
looking it over many of us who have built custom vehicles such as
this in the past are well aware of the time, effort & expense
required to build a vehicle of this caliber. In my opinion and the
opinion of a number of other qualified builders, we believe that
there’s about seventy-five grand worth of work here. Please keep
in mind too that the number mentioned may not include the cost of
purchasing the core either. Also, think about the potential for
increased and unanticipated costs as the project proceeds not to
mention the delayed gratification that comes with having to wait a
year or more for the project to be completed. It’s for these
reasons (and a few others) that a person seriously interested in
owning a custom truck of this caliber should take a serious look
at this one.
Another “plus” in my opinion is that this is
a fully sorted out vehicle with approx. 5,600 miles on the build.
If you’ve been around cars like this, then you know how important
something like that really is. So many vehicles are built these
days with the express purpose of simply looking good for a few
days in an auction arena and driving it a few feet up to the
auction platform. Frequently, when buyers get these vehicles home
and then spend sometime behind the wheel, they really find out
what a “garage queen” there new vehicle really is. Because they
haven’t been fully sorted out they can be full of “bugs” that can
take thousands of dollars to exterminate. If the owner has been
able to drive something like this for almost six thousand miles
without incident, that really tells you something about how well
it was built.
Here
is a list of some of the equipment…
• Corvette LS-1 motor. Horsepower is
believed to be in the 350 to 360 range.
• Four speed
overdrive automatic transmission known as the 4L60E which is the
approved unit to mate up to this engine.
• Power steering,
power front disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, CD,
tilt wheel, etc.
• The truck sits on a beautiful set of
polished, 17” Coddington wheels with Kummo tires. There are
numerous additional features some of which are visible in these
photographs and some not that we can discuss if you decide to
call.
The
quality of the construction is at a significantly higher level
then I normally see in vehicles of this type. The fit and finish
on this truck are exceptionally nice.
So,
enjoy the pictures and look it over. In my opinion this is a great
buy on a great truck!
Since these photos were taken the owner has just decided to do a significant upgrade to this truck. He’s done a complete
re-do of the interior, changing it from the light gray you see here to a beautiful beige color. The seat was completely re-designed as well as many other improvements that are both subtle and yet significant. We think it’s a
HUGE improvement. If you’re curios, please give me a call and I’ll get some pictures headed your way.
Asking a VERY REASONABLE $48,500.
