Fun with Classifieds!

what i mean is , lets say the phone rings, & its Steve Sourapas, he says hey, we just got sponsor ship of a another 6100 full blown Brenthal Mason Herbst bling truck, need you to drive it in all the remaining score races, just bring a helmet & suit, besides soiling your shorts, would you be ready??

 

[Crusty Shellback]

Not me. I'm not a racer, never pretended to be one.

Just a pit guy.

But I have pitted their 6100 trucks before. Changed the rear tire.

And I did sleep at a Holiday Inn express once.

 

[jon coleman]

ok fair enough, now, CS,you would drive a 6100 out at a Plaster city fun day, right??

 

[Crusty Shellback]

Hell yea.

I've ridden an old husky all over Baja.
Ridden a built quad all around the Pismo dunes.
Daily drove a 600HP blown SBC in a '63 C10.
Drove a 750HP plus '17 Camaro on the Hot Rod Power Tour.
Rode a 100 plus Harley bagger as a daily rider.

So yea, I'm down for it.

was the 63 a short bed/ wheel base?, bet that got exciting over 120

Just looking at today’s classified adds and I can’t believe the prices people are asking. The 2012 blue raptor person is asking for more then what they paid brand new. Crazy.

Was a long bed step side.
Hit the gas and you didnt know what it was going to do. Smoke the tires, or hook up and lift the front end.
Pulled the front end up one day doing about 20 as I passed a Roush and Saleen Mustang. They didnt want to play after that.

Not from here, but saw this post on my RAM site. Sticker on it is actually $92,545.

 

[JDDurfey]

DUDE! $169,991 is more than I paid for my 4 bedroom house on a half acre lot!!!

I guess I am never getting a new truck! Ill keep fixing up old ones and drive them!

 

[Crusty Shellback]

I hope no fool is actually paying those kind of numbers.

I paid $65K for my '21 75th Anniversary edition Power wagon. So its pretty much loaded.

So this is like 2 1/2 times what I paid.

 

[jon coleman]

Q;whats that worth?, A; what someone is willing to pay( did price check on some of my surf boards, one i got a bunch of inquiries at 4500, paid a Lot less, & those are the dealers who ship them to Japan for 10k, inflation

 

[BigBlue&Goldie]

That Ram must come with lifetime transmission replacement.

 

[motoman29]

for that price, it better come with lifetime TRUCK replacement

Now @Crusty Shellback we would need a video, 8mm or vhs or beta, or a pic of the c10 longbed(127"WB) lifting the front at 20mph or it really didn't happen. I agree with your "Hit the gas and you didnt know what it was going to do". I had a 1969 bronco, 302, also supercharged(92"WB) behind a standard trans and even I can't say I ever lifted the front wheels. I think I may have once but, alas, no pic or video. I also ran from a Sheriff on 1st Avenue going up the hill past River Road in Tucson once and I won. No pics but I had a witness passenger who was scared shitless!

 

[Crusty Shellback]

My only witness was my son in the truck with me.
And the 2 guys in the mustang's with a look of horror when this rusted out hooptie came by them. The original farm truck.

I sometimes feel ripped off that when I was growing up we didn't have access to easy picture taking or video. Other times I'm glad no one documented the super stupid stuff we did. Ok, back to the classified fun. I only have two pictures, here's one. Got my SCORE sticker too.

 

[jon coleman]

class 3 dosent allow holes in the hood....

So it seems they put some wheels and tires on it and a black wrap and are trying to justify the cost.
Same truck, same VIN. asking $160K.

 

[jon coleman]

hey, those aren't just 'wheels', those are the ' premium' wheel package, With stem lube , and the rap isnt just ' rap', its " uv" resistant rap
