Bullnose barn find with 460 original miles

Rembrant
This thing appears to be well preserved. Dug out from an estate sale perhaps?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/302875317098

Check the link below they even added pics of the "as found" condition of the truck:

Exact same instrument cluster panel and radio delete dash as my 1984.

And I think that money is fine for that truck. He even has an offer option, so maybe $15K would get it. Where can you buy something like that for $15K. I think that's a deal. Looks to need a headliner. They should have fixed that. It's a shame it has no AC. No biggie with the radio delete, they are easy to install.

Wow!


That thing is gorgeous.  And it certainly is worth quite a bit of money.

It's interesting that they posted the picture of the truck as it was found. In storage for over 30 years, original oil filter and original tires still on the truck. Quite a find I'd say.

Yeah, but for that much $$$...you could get so much more with something else. Look at the price big blackie went for!!

This truck is a museum piece. Not something to tinker on or drive.

Talked with Davis Auto Sales today and got permission to host the pictures for this truck here: Picture Gallery/1984 F150 Survivor.

It's not far from me. Thinking I should go see it in person. I don't need another truck but it would be nice to see a 1984 with <500 orig miles
Maybe.

If you do, please let them know you saw it here.  He and I talked about the benefits of preserving the pics here, and having you show up to see it in person would confirm his thoughts.

I see somebody posted a link on FB to this truck on MECUM and that it sold for $11,000.

So, did the original seller hold it and finally sell it at Mecum's auction?  Did someone buy it and flip it?  Anyone know?

Well, I don't know about who sold it on MECUM, but I can tell you that someone else DID buy it to flip it...lol. It's now on Long Island being sold by the "original owner"...

Send the Craigslist poster this email:

https://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/d/brightwaters-1984-ford-pickup/6963954361.html

So you are the original owner?  And yet Mecum sold it?  https://www.mecum.com/lots/PA0819-379525/1984-ford-f150-pickup/?fbclid=IwAR2AGM_vEcSBQeRQCYrCZSBwcjIM6fhE-lO8bi4hdYNRdpaM9OG7UX4iBhI.  Just wondering how all that played out?

Well, not only did it recently sell on MECUM, it was also previously sold by Davis Auto Sales as they are the ones that had it on Ebay.

Good point.  Let's see what the response is and if he denies it I'll go back with the Davis bit.  Do you have the link handy?

Gary,

The original Ebay ad is long expired and is NLA, but you mentioned earlier in the thread that you spoke with the guy(s)? at Davis to get permission to save and host the pictures. The link below is the dealer that had the truck on Ebay (In Richmond VA iirc)

So, how long do I give him to reply before I flag it on Craigslist?

I wouldn't bother. The seller can just post a new ad for it easy enough. Yes it may be a lie and seems to be a stupid one at that (seller should just omit it as who cares if a truck with that little of mileage has 500 owners) but it ultimately doesn't affect the trucks quality/condition.

Anyone willing to spend that kind of money on that old of a truck off Craigslist (this being the key point) should know enough to be skeptical of everything and verify details to the best of ones ability. Pulling a Carfax would show it being sold a couple times recently and at that price should be a given.

I think contacting the seller to call him/her out is enough but that's just me

Plus I think  it takes several flags from different ip addresses before the algorithm even picks up on it.
