Those trucks in clean condition are starting to get collectable already. If the transmission was just rebuilt that pretty much eliminates the single unreliable component.

I am re-posting my panel truck. I have been debating selling it or keeping it to restore, but I am in pretty bad need of some money so it's up at a very very low price.

1958 International Harvester Metro Panel Truck
Needs restored to be very nice, but it is very very solid and restorable

Inline gasoline engine, manual trans, factory dually rear
has 2 blind rear doors

Has been sitting for a while so it is not currently running, but was told it ran when put away

There is NO TITLE for the vehicle at this time.... i have taken that into account in the price already

NADA Classic Vehicle Blue Book for this truck is 4-6 thousand as it sits


Need it gone ASAP
Pick up by this weekend

One of my friends had that happen. He had to have what I'm sure wasn't a comfortable surgery.

:nws: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilonidal_cyst :nws:

There is still hope for your Beretta.

On a side note, after that surgery was the only time I can remember another friend ever cleaning out his car. We were all riding around when the alarming statement was made that cyst-boy had lost his maxi pad and couldn't find it amongst the Mountain Dew cans.

When you buy a Chevy Beretta, it comes with a meth habit, so of course they don't stay clean.

In all seriousness if that car were nearby I would definitely go look at it, I'd drive the wheels off that thing. As a teenager of the 80's that kind of paintjob (on a mini truck) was what I lusted after. On a badass big block car? Colorful icing on my gas guzzling cake.

It's not always bad. If the engine wasn't great from the factory (reliability, longevitiy issues), at high miles, I'd be fine with seeing a younger engine swapped in.

For a 4 door 318i it's clean enough, but with those wheels and the other little things you notice on it, it's not that nice.

In California I think you can pick up a lot nicer 325 instead.

In the midwest, at MOST $3k. I could sell my 4door 318i with LSD, E36 rack, all maintenance records could go for $3k.

It's overpriced in the Bay Area, yeah. Since he didn't give the mileage in the ad, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was a clean title and ONLY has 200K on the clock. According to KBB, that should be worth $1350. You're right about it being exceptionally clean, and I would definitely pay more than that if it really is as nice as the guy says. But almost 3 times as much? Not a chance. I got my first E30 here (89 325i with 150K) for $1700. It wasn't as nice as this, but it was still pretty drat good.

I sent the guy an email asking for the mileage and the VIN. Haven't heard back from him yet, shockingly enough. I'm in the market right now and I'm genuinely interested in this, but I don't think the guy is going to listen to reason. He's certainly not the first that thinks theirs is the golden example that shines above the rest.

I just heard back from the guy with the 318. It has 175K on the chassis, so that's a nice surprise. Still though, according to KBB, it's worth $1185 in EX condition, which only 5% of cars actually live up to. I told him I'm interested, and I'm willing to talk about his pricing, but I don't see him rejoining reality any time soon...
