Seriously considering a truck for sale in Phoenix, so much so that I may buy sight unseen.  Fly 'n Drive is out now that I have a work commitment.  (less expensive to ship it anyway).

To me, it looks almost too good to be true.  I asked the seller last night at half time for pics of the engine bay and undercarriage, the bottom is just as clean.  Thoughts?

 

1968 Dodge D-100, 318 automatic long box, $6500.

Thanks, I really don't know what to do.  I requested pictures of the engine bay and undercarriage, got them in 20 hours.  I said I'd like to buy the truck, gave the seller mhy phone number and asked he call or text.

Nuttin'.

Fly out, cut the deal, fly back?

Anyone near Peoria, AZ want to shag a truck for me?

I'll send money, have it shipped and send you some $$ or wine for your trouble.

I'm in Flagstaff - it would be a 2 hour drive down the hill to Phx.  From the pics, that thing looks sweet!  I can try to help out but work 8-5 during the week.  I am free this weekend...

 

Shoot me a PM if you want my number.

Seller only does email.  I guess the only answer is to try and set something up then I send money?

I appreciate the effort, but may have to let this one slip by......

The truck looks pretty good, I'd just be worried about possible title issues, VIN mismatch etc and wouldn't want to just send money until that got checked.  

Do they seem open at all to your interest even though you'd have to take a few days to get money and get it checked out by someone local, etc?  If so, might be worth pursuing.  If not, maybe it'll be available in a week and they'll change their tune.

My son reached out to someone he went to school with who lives there.  If he agrees, I will give him a briefing on what to look for.

If he can't/won't do it, I'm (unfortunately) out.

In reply to 914Driver :

Could you just hop a plane and meet him with cash?  I’ve done that before and it was for a similar amount.  I know you said you had a work commitment for fly and drive,  but there is always fly,  stick in storage unit,  then fly back and arrange shipping.

You'll need to log in to post.
