this poor thing has been sitting for sale for ever. guy wants 3500 for it. you can tell from the pics that the bed is not correct, but looks good on it. all the sheet metal is good, as are the inner fenders and interior. the cab mounts and core support are pretty rotten. she's a painted lady. i wish he'd have put the money in the metal work and not worried about the paint. i'd say it's a 1500 max truck the way it sits.

Why is the bed not correct? I like the color.

The bed should be a fridge box, but are you sure it is a 61 or has the grill been changed?
It does look good though.

I say its a 61 with a 64 bed. Thats a 64-66 bed only. and in 64 they went to the larger roof. It has the smaller roof with a 61 grill and hood emblems. It's a pre 64 truck with a 64 bed. Looks good on it though.

not a bad looking truck. Hope someone convinces him to part with it soon.
Not the correct box, but an improvement over original IMO

i wish he'd come down on the price, i'd have bought it already. it needs a bed floor too. oh and he's asking the low, low price of 10k for the 66 connie beside it. (sarcasm)

Geez, maybe he just likes having parking lot ornaments to look at.
The truck sure does look good from a few feet away, though.

The more I look at those pics, the more I'm expecting Dirty Harry Calahan to come running by with his .44 Magnum drawn. Just looks like an old photo.

There's an '05 or later Mustang in the background
