Haha I share a craigslist with you then. Are you in like Hampton Township "wildwood" or elsewhere?

I also was shocked to see this one. I had a hard time believing it and thought maybe the odometer rolled over, but after seeing the pictures, I think 107,100 would look to be in much worse condition.

WOW! It is a time capsule. Those might even be the original tires. If I had to spend 25 grand on a new truck, I would buy that. Then, I would baby it until my days run out.

Yeah Greentree. I used to work near Hampton therefore I'm one of the privileged few to know of Wildwood. Post up a pic of your rig, maybe I've seen it around!

Press the "more ads by this user" tab and you'll find a bunch of bumpside and misc truck ads

So, a Custom with carpet, cloth seat, no A/C, racetrack trim and tu-tone?

My dad's company trucks he ordered were this color combo up until '80. They no longer offered the metallic brown and tan, so from then until the oil bust, they were metallic brown and white.

I posted that ad here awhile back in the "craigslist ad of the week" thread. It is a nice truck, but I noticed that the tailpipe of the exhaust appears to turn down just behind the rear wheel. It should turn out just behind the wheel, not down.

It's very nice and rare, but $25K, ugh! That's more than I would spend.

That's why I've been seeing it on there at least 2-3 months.
