I like the instrument panel. With they had a shot of the other side. I don't like the under hood treatment.

it looks too much like a c-10 from the front to me. and that dash has been crazy modified. i do like the bed side interior treatments with the boxes though.

For a hundred grand, I don't care if it's got a gas turbine out of an M-1 Abrams tank, it ain't worth it.
Some guys are just too proud of their work!

Let him take it to Barrett Jackson and have a big fat 32000 bid that he has to accept and cry about. I like the ride and the work but there is a limit to any market for customs.

Why would any one want to cover something like that up. I hate engine covers, that's what hoods are for. This thing looks like its got a second hood under the hood.

So was all this stuff a dealer option in the 60's, or did the guy do some extra special stuff himself????????

Seems like it would trap a lot of heat too but being a trailer queen trophy chaser I doubt it runs for any long periods of time.

Good Luck !!!!!!

i wouldn't look twice at it on the street. add in the price tag and it becomes laughable. maybe they're fishing.

whoever modified it spent too much time and energy on individual details and not enough thought about what their end product would be. not exactly a masterpiece.

but i bet someone out in ebay land would pay alot for it. pbly not $100,000.00 though.

Post by **foodstick** » October 8, 2010, 8:02 pm

I see he has done a MOD that I once did ! He closed up the holes in the upper valance..right below the front section of the hood. I made one, welded in the plugs..ground on it, got it looking real good..Then i tried to put it on the truck..it wouldn't fit !

Either I welded in a flex when it was hot, or the piece was twisted when I got it..and I didn't realize..

Either way it was not gonna bolt up when I was done...

COOL garage though!

At that price it should come with everything in the picture, including the garage...

Make him an offer including the garage. Everything's negotiable.

I should give this guy a call...My '66 should at least be worth $50K on jackstands.

Lose the outdated paint job (I really do not like fades), the spare tire in the tonneau, the rediculous engine cover, and the grill & headlight nightmare. Man, who thought those were stellar ideas? I do like the bed work, with the extra boxes and such...The interior is very nice as well. LOVE the steering wheel.

Is it me, or is the dash pad a different shade of blue, compared to the seat inserts and such?
