Truck was scratched off the list.Never made it to the block.

YOu think it sold and that was the reason or maybe false information, you never know.

probably wouldn't start :roll: :lol:

I bet it was the purple wire.

I was thinking stuck wastegate puck, overboost when being moved to block. Twisted rods.

I bet it sold beforehand.

That's how stuff goes.

Re: "Barn" 1200 mile Royal Blue @ auction tomorrow

I am willing to bet the guy that was interested in my truck, that said he was at the auction and had just spoken to the owner of that Ty purchased it before the auction. I think he may be a broker or something.Everytime I would speak to him he was getting on a plane to one place or another, and he would constantly say he needed to speak to his guy and would get back to me.When we originally spoke he said he was looking for a Ty with mileage in the teens.I was excited to have found one with 30,000 miles on it.I told there might be a few out there but if someone has it with that kind of mileage they probably do not want to sell. And I was DVRing Mecum to play it back and see what this one went for.

My thought as well. Wonder what it sold for, and why he didn't wait for the auction (trying to avoid auction fees is my guess)

That truck sure did clean up nice! Don't know about $29,000 but a rare color with that kind of mileage I guess its possible for the right buyer. Hard to say if there's another out there that can compare.

Is it just me,or are the rocker cladding rivets wrong?

 

[dgoodhue]

Re: "Barn" 1200 mile Royal Blue @ auction tomorrow

They are missing on the passenger side. I would not be surprised if they repainted the cladding.
