when you get the might as wells real bad.

I am posting my 72 GMC K5 Jimmy for sale that I have had for 9 years now. I have been building this truck since the day I got it and LOST ALL INTEREST several years ago.

Poor bastard, I feel his pain sometimes.

That really doesn't look much different from mine right now...



poor truck, I'm sorry...

That guy is delusional.

As soon as I see the word "invested" in a listing I instantly know the seller has WASTED a ton of money!

By his own description, the bodywork is lousy and rusting away , the interior is incomplete and the hardtop has been butchered to install a sunroof!

Sorry, that isn't a 9 year project. That a guy who has owned a truck for 9 years and occasionally tinkered on it. Big difference.

The truck deserves better, but at that price it isn't going anywhere.

yeah, it sounds like he spent most of that 9 years either neglecting it or making bad decisions. all that money he put into it was wasted because of the neglect.

15000 invested that he already sold all the parts. What a joke.

Yep. Real easy to tear everything down, buy a bunch of parts and than let it sit forever.

.....and I'll bet that part of the $15000 "investment" was on things that are now ruined again (bodywork, etc).

I love his comment about the hardtop being stored inside because of how "valuable" it is. I'd bet it isn't even a single-wall version. Not that it matters much with that goofy sunroof hole in the middle of it.

lol, yeah, I was thinking that made a whole lot of sense. lets store the hard top inside, but leave the interior of the truck exposed to the elements... yeah, that's the ticket!

I am also thinking about putting a sun roof in my convertible.........
