I'm pretty sure that color isn't orginal, I don't think they offered either one of those colors back then.

Doesn't look factory, but it looks like a pretty nice truck from the picture.

The gold/brown colour was available I had one that colour but the middle was a cream colour.
The guy says its all origional but the colour doesnt look it to me.
I was going to look at the truck but its 300 miles away and if hes lying about the colour I wonder what else is wrong with it?

He emailed me back , says theres a bit of rust in the box and the seat needs recoivering.
Doesnt sound "mint" to me.
I wish people selling run of the mill used junk wouldnt call it mint.

If that truck is rust free, dent free and drives good, it could fetch between $5000-5500 here in Colorado.

Josh

EDIT dang I type slow, so it has some rust and the seat is toast... $3500-4000

Mint means theres nothing wrong with it , not 2 little minor things.
If theres 2 things Ill bet i can find 10 things.
Mint is mint and needs nothing.
I might go look at it but Id like to find out about whether the colour is factory or not.
Im looking for a ready to use 79 Im finished with projects sitting around that never get done and I never get to drive them.

I remember back in the day a MINT baseball card or comic book meant absolutely nothing wrong with it, now MINT can mean 9.4 (for example) on a scale of 10.

That's .6 away from perfect. I'm not saying that's what the seller is doing, but I think the majority of people think a nice looking product is MINT, when it is not perfect.

That is a nice looking truck. 300 miles one way is a lot of miles to see a truck and not buy it after all. If you do buy it let us know how it turned out.
