Private sale of
1972Ford F100SPORTCustom.FACTORY Calypso Coralcolour. (orange).
ONLY 58,715 miles original,
WASHINGTON STATE truck, currently located in Calgary Alberta Canada(approximately 3 hours directly north of Montana).(Ebay does not have provision for people with multiple residences).
There are NO import/export restrictions. Please don't write to me asking what is involved with bringing this Suburban to the States. Answer is simple, nothing.... It requires nothing at all. It is antique status, domestic build, and free to travel. PLUS IT IS A WASHINGTON STATE TRUCK.This is a really nice running project truck. It drives really well also. It is factory orange in colour, powered by a 302 engine, and only has 58,000 miles. It is very very clean, and obvious to see that it was nicely cared for. The paint is quite thin from age and repeated polishing but, asides from some paint touch-up’s over the years for preservation, the body appears quite original. Some of the nicest old vehicles I've ever seen have come from Washington State. The truck is actually very smooth and shiny. We bought the truck on a whim. It was purely spur of the moment. I love these ’67-72 trucks. My dad had a '72 SPORT Custom. The ’72’s are my favourite, and theSPORTCustom F100’s are near impossible to ever find in decent condition. It was too nice to pass up. Was really neat that we got it from a country/western recording artist and songwriter that, at the time, just finished recording another album in Texas. Many years ago, this was his daily driver truck. He kept it all these years. In any regard…. Reality is, it’s just really unlikely I’ll have time to do anything with it. I’ve narrowed down our pile of vehicles. No sense being selfish and keeping this one too. I'm assuming we'll likely get pennies for the dollar on this truck but, it'll teach me not to keep allowing vehicles to follow me home like orphan puppy dogs. I hope it goes to a good home. This is actually a really nice running and driving, cool little truck with some fantastic potential. I think someone will be quite happy.
UNRESERVED:This truck is being soldUNRESERVED. Starting price is 250 dollars. Asides from helping arrange your shipping, I have no time to take 99 more pictures, or have 2-hour long conversations. I don't have time to take even 1 single solitary additional picture, then load and send it; please don't ask. It's probably a misnomer to say I don't care about price, but I am knowingly sacrificing dollars to put more emphasis on a hassle-free and quick sale.
As such, I am not going to get into long drawn out discussions as to whether it's a 6.5/10 condition, or 7/10. Let's just call this a 1/10. Perspectives vary so, for ease of sale, please disregard everything else and assume this truck is an awful wreck salvage-value project vehicle that is needing everything. My goal is to avoid insincere and zero-feedback bidders who will not follow through with their commitment. My other goal is to find somebody genuine, who will really appreciate this really nice truck with great potential.
Also, very important….review our feedback please.Each is for a 40+ year old vehicle!
During our time on eBay, we've figured out2 very important things arecommunication
andprocedure
. We have a little procedure. Our little procedure focuses on communication. It goes as follows:- After auction, we ask for your buyer's information.
- We fill in transfer papers and scan/send to you.
- You confirm spelling and information correct.
- You go to your bank, and send funds.
- We begin on shipping,
- ...keeping you informed every step..
- You receive your cool vintage F100SPORTCustom pickup,
- You leave us a fabulous feedback,
We're not interested in Paypal or deposits... I realize I'm somewhat the anti-salesman and have taken intentional strides to heavily under-represent this vehicle. That's fine. Of importance to us right now is a smooth sale to a genuine buyer. If you are bidding, please be serious as I am and understand our adherence to this little system/procedure. It's to help both of us. If, for any reason, you cannot adhere to this procedure, please let us know BEFORE BIDDING. OR,....IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK OR ARE NEW TO EBAY YOU MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING.
Otherwise, I will cancel your bid.
DELIVERY:...to most states and destinations is in the $1500+ range. Please keep that in mind. Budget for at least this amount. Texas and Florida, and other far southeastern states, are obviously a bit more at minimum $2250-ish. Any required inspections, certifications, registrations, paperwork, or anything else are the buyer's responsibility. I don't know the rules in each particular state so, am selling as per Alberta rules. My wife has become pretty good at setting up shipping and, is happy to assist. Rest is up to you. Payment is by bank transfer, US account to US account. As stated, I don't ask for Paypal. Once payment is received, everything else is ready to proceed from there. I believe putting this truck unreserved will easily make up for any shipping costs. Somebody's bound to get a heck of a deal.
PICKUP:....not really recommended. See our procedure. I'll elaborate. It’s a 45+ year old original truck. Old vehicles are unpredictable by nature. I’m not the seller that’ll tell you that I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it across the country. I”m not, and I won’t say that. Besides….I've got 2 more vehicles to sell after this. I just simply will not risk someone being unhappy and wrecking my feedback.
CALLS:If you'd like to speak over the phone, I'm happy to hear from you. Please write and we'll make arrangements.
If you are fromOVERSEAS,please know we have shipped long distances many times. We are happy to assist. Since beginning to narrow down ourinadvertent collection a couple years ago, we've sold to England, France, Germany, Holland, Slovenia, as well as theMiddle East and New Zealand.
Ibelieve that covers everything.
Good luck and happy bidding!
