1971 CHEVY LONGHORN PICKUP
I AM LISTING THIS PICKUP FOR A FRIEND OF MINE SO ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO HIM. I HAVE SEEN THIS TRUCK SO I WILL TRY TO DESCRIBE IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN MAY OF 1998 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERAT THE TIME IT WAS PURCHASED IT ONLY HAD 11K ORIGINAL MILES. THE GENTLEMAN WHO PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WAS A MECHANIC BY TRADE SO ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES WERE FIXED AT THAT TIME. THIS BECAME HIS DRIVER FOR MANY YEARS. AS THE YEARS WENT ON IT WAS FINALLY DECIDED TO FRESHEN THE OLD GIRL UP. THIS TRUCK WAS TORN DOWN TO FRAME ALL MINOR BODY ISSUES FIXED AND A HIGH QUALITY PAINT JOB WAS DONE. SINCE THIS TRUCK WAS STILL GOING TO BE A DAILY DRIVER AND THE INTERIOR WAS STILL IN USEABLE SHAPE IT WAS NOT RESTORED. THIS TRUCK IS VERY FLAT AND STRAIGHT AND THE PROFESIONALLY APPLIED PAINT HAS BEEN SANDED AND BUFFED TO A BRILLIANT SHINE. THIS RESTORATION WAS FINISHED IN MAY 2014 AND HAS NOT REALLY BEEN DRIVEN SINCE. IT STILL LOOKS AS IT DID WHEN IT CAME HOME FROM THE BODY SHOP.
MECHANICALLY THIS TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE NO ISSUES. AS IT WAS A MECHANIC WHO OWNED THIS TRUCK IT WAS METICUOSLY MAINTAINED. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE SOUNDS VERY SMOOTH WITH NO TICKS CLUNKS OR WEIRD NOISES.THE 400 TURBO HAS RECENTLY BEEN REBUILT AND SHIFTS AS IT SHOULD. IT DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD STRAIGHT WITH NO WANDERING AND THE STEERING HAS VERY LITTLE PLAY. THE BRAKES STOP THIS VEHICLE AS THEY SHOULD. THIS TRUCK HAS WORKING A/C
THOSE OF YOU WHO FOLLOW THESE TRUCKS KNOW THESE LONGHORNS WITH THE 9' BED ARE RARE AND HARD TO COME BY. THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN CUT UP OR ABUSED AND MAYBE WITH A LITTLE INTERIOR WORK WOULD BE SHOW QUALITY AT YOUR LOCAL EVENTS. YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ONE WITH 69K ORIGINAL MILES AS CLEAN AS THIS ONE. THAT BEING SAID IT IS A 45 YEAR OLD TRUCK AND THERE ARE ALWAYS SOME MINOR IMPERFECTIONS I MAY HAVE MISSED. THIS TRUCK IS BEING SOLD WHERE IS AS IS AND NO WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN EXPRESSED WRITTEN OR IMPLIED. PRE INSPECTIONS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED AND THE TRUCK WILL BE MADE EASILY ACCESSABLE TO DO SO. WHILE SHIPPING IS RESPONSIBILTY OF PURCHASER ALL EFFORT WILL MADE TO MAKE TRUCK EASY FOR CARRIER TO PICK UP. THIS PICKUP SHOULD BE PICKED UP WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. TRUCK WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTILL ALL MONIES HAVE CLEARED.
