    Soon you will celebrate 5 years C free and driving an F Model day cab with your daughter to her wedding.

    No taillights in the bed. Maybe tha was "custom" built part. Or maybe it's the inflame? I wouldn't be surprised if they just painted the windows and just scrapped them down.

    Where is it located?

    Congrats! Cash in hand in person might change his mind over an offer over the phone. As cfesting said, make sure the wife is within earshot of your discussion. I think if they met you in person and realize the significance of this truck to you, that may sway him. Good luck!

    I think at the time the asking was $8,000? Much more reasonable price now. I hope someone buys it. Looks like a beefy unit.

    Wasn't this on eBay not too long ago?

    For whatever reason I haven't clicked into this yet so to tonight (or should i say morning at 12:15am) I said let's look at some show trucks, I hope there's a lot of pictures. And what do I see? GMC GENERAL! That made my night/morning. Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a lot of sweet iron.

    My shop is there with a black 64 Caddy coupe and a gold 1970 Nova 307 really nice restoration. I have to man the shop so I am not there.

    Last year was my first show there and this year was even better. And I got to walk around the rusty stuff in the back. I was looking forward to that. I missed the photo shoot but managed to see Mackman on his way out and stopped by to say hi to Barry. DCR was on his way out in the mobile estate so i figured i would catch him at the next show. After that, I didn't see anyone else.

    Post your town and state as well so people know where it's at

    Cool, I am glad someone saved it. Good thing I didn't try to drive it back to NJ.

    $4500 sounds like a very fair price if its not trashed. Get some better pictures in the day light when you get a chance.

    That B87sx was a beast. One of my favorites of the show.
  14. JTFormula
    That's pretty darn cool that you got it. I was wondering what happened to that thing. How does it drive and what kind of work did it need?
  15. JTFormula
    Family first. Your Dad will pull through and you will be able to take him to the show next year. Prayers for your pop and a full recovery.

    Superdog - As promised pictures! Of course like a fly to a flame and Vinny to a U Model, I went right to the only General there first B Model Rollback This was the U that blew a tire on the Turnpike. He already had a wrecker there or we would have pulled over to offer assistance This was the B81 Dump we had seen cruising on the Turnpike on the way home Loved this B 53 Rollback This thing was beautiful. Love the color combo This is for Mackman This B61 doesn't look that bad. I would have a real serious interest if I had room and extra cash This was cool. Full rig just parked in the back waiting for someone to use it again Fun with black and white Here is the link for the rest of the pictures: http://s387.photobucket.com/user/jtformula/slideshow/Gerharts%2010-5-13

    If you have the address the truck is located at, you can find out the owner of the property thru tax records. Just to to the towns website and somewhere you can look up the address to give you their info. Mail a letter to them. That's how I got my General. It's all public record. Good luck

    Here's a teaser picture. On the way back home the single axle U model was on the side of the Turnpike with a blown left steer tire and the green b81 dump was tooling in the slow lane. Awesome show.

    I'll be leaving in an hour and hope to make the noon time pictures.

    Holy carp that's cool!

    Apparently my statement was taken in the wrong way. Once you buy it its yours to do what you want with it. I've seen cars that sat for 60+ years get road worthy but maintain their patina. The best example of this was the flooded 1911 Oldsmobile that was in the Swigart museum in PA. The car stayed in a static display for 50+ years with tires that were disintegrated. The new buyer (at $1.65m) got the car running keeping as many factory installed pieces as possible and put new wheels and NOS tires purchased in the 60's on the car while keeping the originals. It was then displayed at Pebble Beach and the owner has used it sparingly. The thing about this hobby is everyone has their idea of what they want but the most important thing is to preserve old iron. They can only be original once. The best thing is all of these cars went to new homes and they live on and not get crushed.

    I'll be taking lots if pictures tomorrow and will be posting them either Sunday or Monday.

    Terry, the whole point is NOT to restore that car. It's worth more money as it sits over cleaning it up. Decent Pace Cars can be had for $12,000-15,000 that you can drive. Something like this is going to be a static display in a collection or museum for the rest if its life.

    I am going to do my best to show up by noon for the pic on Saturday. I hope the Vet takes the blood sample first thing when we get there. Then the mad dash to Lititz.

    This is my job, collector cars. What many don't realize is that the story is what brings the price so high. When is the next time you will ever get to buy a 58 Cameo pick up NEVER SOLD NEW still on MSO with under 5 mikes on it? Never. Most of these low mileage cars are going to museums and collections and most likely the dust will never be washed off. The big thing now is "barn finds" in as found state. Once you do any repair on these cars to fix the damage, the originality, history, and story is gone. If there was an old Mack dealer with original b61s and b81s, R models and Superliners with no miles laying around, we would all scramble with fat checks in hand to be the first owners of them. Nothing different about this auction. I agree the prices paid are ridiculous but again, a situation like this is not going to happen again.
