Do you believe this only had 50 miles?

those guys are a joke if you aks me . to much b/s in a lot of there stuff.

I would be more a mecum auction guy if I had the money .
 
That tailgate lettering isn't stock, is it? Ive never seen the chevrolet lettering in the middle like that
 
It's possible. I had a neighbor w/ a '71 Chevelle SS convertible. He's the original owner, car is all original and it only has about 150 miles on it. They're all 1/4 mile at a time. Never drove it much because he knew the emissions cars were coming and it would be collectible. He only takes it out to Atco speedway 1 or 2 time a year for a couple easy runs.
 
It doesn't have the rear quarter emblem either, as well as having the Chevrolet emblem in the center.
Trim level.
 
I drive 100 miles a day. Can't imagine a vehicle with only that many miles on it.
 
considering what the 1st gens are selling for I'd say that was a good investment if it checked out.
 
There was a M1010 CUCV came out a year or two ago with like 15 miles on it still had the plastic on the seats. And no it wasn't rebuilt. I have a blazer with 47,000 and all the maintenance records to prove it.
 
I can say for a fact that the 73 and 74 Chevrolet emblems on the tailgate were to the right. I've never seen a metal emblem in the middle...stamped, yes, but not metal.
No AC, so maybe it's not the Cheyenne package, which would explain no quarter emblems?

Another very original k5 with the metal emblem in the center and mismatched mirrors and bumpers. These trucks were a mess going down the production line, if you didn't specify it on the order sheet you were going to get whatever parts were on hand on your truck
 
never seen that before...but I haven't seen many 1976's ever
 
how do we know that bumper is original though...ahhh...is that one of those Bicentennial models? that might explain it.
