Slick at Kruse
Went to the Kruse Auto Auction last Sunday 9/2/07. There was a ton of eye-candy there, and I'm not talking about the ladies. Saw a few 50's and 70's Ford Trucks, but only one Slick. A '66' that was exactly like mine, except that mine's a hunk of junk. Was locked-up and they get real bitchy if you touch them (lots of 'Don't Touch') signs. Don't know if it sold or not. Maybe if I win the lottery mine will someday look this good.

Doesn't that sorta defeat the purpose of selling a vehicle at auction?jimbeamalki wrote:Was locked-up and they get real bitchy if you touch them (lots of 'Don't Touch') signs.
How is a guy supposed to make an informed decision on how much he's willing to bid if he can't open it up & poke around? 
Anyhoo, nice looking truck.
My "Slickitis" affliction began here...
66 F100 CC/65 F100 CC/66 F250 CC
If it starts to rain, they'll tax the splash.
If you want to fish, they'll tax the bass.
If you plant a yard, they'll tax the grass.
If you don't play nice, they'll fine your *$#!

I agree.
Unless its a very specialty auction, auctions and any sort of place for sale are the one place where our "dont look under the hood" policy from the other thread doesnt apply.
I dont mind if they have it locked because its out in the parking lot and theyre inside getting it registered etc though, but once its anywhere the auction area or viewing area, they should expect to have people going through it with a fine toothed comb.
Of course the buyers and lookers need to show some common sense too. If youre an idiot thats leaning against the car with a coat zipper, prepare to be blasted.

Beautiful truck by the way. Love the wide whites

Not a big fan of them big whirtewalls, although they seem to fit the theme of some of the lowered trucks, but that's a beaut otherwise.
Weird, like Slick says, that you can't get "Hands On" with a vehicle at an auction sale..

It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

Hmmm -- tells me there is still no money in restoring them for a profit.
That being said, no telling what that truck really was like, just from one picture. Could be the core support was toast and the cab mounts were gone. Etc....
There are folks "restoring" trucks with little real regard for the meaning of restore. Paint and bondo can make a heap look real nice.... for awhile.
