Vin number he listed is wrong and has 66 hubcaps but might have ordered with those hubcaps,,,

I am pretty sure Ford didn't install Cherry Bombs on Slicks either.
Does look VERY nice though.

id guess 7000 would take it. i wouldn't pay more. the 66 i had before was awesome and was bought for 7500 and resold 2 years later for 6500. It was a fun two years for 1000

The ones I saw go at Barrett Jackson were 5 figures so I can't see why this wouldn't fetch that. On a good day that is.

No doubt a clean truck, I would suspect the miles are close to correct too, you see no wear on the seats. I do not think it would be out of the question for him to get a five figure price for that truck. People like unmolested vehicles. If I were looking for a clean truck that I would not have to do a lot of work on, I would certainly consider that one. As Tom mentioned there is something weird about the serial number listed, but I am sure there is a logical explanation for that too.

i don't know about indiana, but in missouri if there is any type of discrepancy, like a home built car or one frame and a different body, the state will issue a vin tag with a state assigned number, but i don't see why that truck would have something like that done.

Very Nice! After looking over the details those pics, I believe this one is as close to factory original as possible, with 47K miles.

I bet this one is the real deal, never been restored, just in hiding somewhere, until now. It has just the right patina of original paint with appropriate rust marks, worn (but not cracked?) steering wheel, an aged but complete engine compartment, and weathered rubber. Those pics wouldn't be too different from any taken in '68 or '69. Kinda like it fell out of a time-warp into 2010 l

.

I'd say the reserve probably is five figures too. Wish it was mine.....but it wouldn't be for sale then

nice looking truck. His new post regarding VIN shows a Michigan truck plant build with a 352 4v for engine. I was not aware pickups were built in Michigan back then? Must be a typo in his VIN #

Also the fender bolts indicate a newer build. Did different assy plants use different hardware?

Something still not right with his VIN.

I would take the truck though! A lot of items usually missing or poor shape look great on this truck.

from last 6 looks like a first week of July build. A pretty late truck.

I like it a lot. Maybe time to raid my 401K.....

My 65 F100 was built in Michigan Jan / 1966 at that same plant. I knew it was built at that plant , but learned it was Jan 1966 with www.vinwiz.com

i didn't see the vin in the description until i looked again. i was looking at the vin he gave in the beginning of the auction. disregard my previous posts.

rcb1020 · Post by **rcb1020** » July 13, 2010, 10:34 pm

I had to scroll down too , he added it to the description. I contacted him on Ebay and told him I'd post his truck on slick 60's ... I'm starting to think commission ..lol Oh btw Michelle , I searched the Michigan Truck Plant and it opened in 1957 ..building station wagons , Broncos and F series.

DUH! I should have known that my '65 is a D. Quick look in my '65 Shop manual and it shows D is 352 4v.

Well, FYI winning bidder pays $10,400....not me....it did mange to make it past the reserve and the high bidder only bid once, jerking it away from the other three folks in the last seconds...

Wow ! that seller must be really happy , I didn't think it would fetch that. It's hard to put a price on something like that truck , when it's mostly all original and you have the cash to burn.

BackyardRest · Post by **BackyardRest** » July 19, 2010, 9:58 pm

I had a friend who drove there from approx one hour away (spoke to guy on phone who told me there was another not as nice that sold for 13k but he would take way less.

When my friend got there the seller told him no less than 13k. He passed at 13k.

Nice truck as far as paint and interior but underside had a lot of surface rust and rust in back of cab. Too many unknowns with engine trans as age also needs work just not high miles. Nice truck tho
