    It was a marketing ploy.

    Exactly why i want a '71 Chevy CK-10
    As close as i got was purchasing a plane ticket to Denver area and she sold.
    This one's close but sadly a big block.

    Sadly they wanted 100k for the one in the pic.

    The one i yearned for in Colorado was a frame off restore that attempted to keep the classic look without any of the headaches. Chevy small black w/ efi pushing 400 ponies. PERFECT. High performance diffs, suspension, braking and interior components. Tweed and leather 60/40 bench along with a custom stitched dash and headliner that just looked like it belonged. Green & Tan... sigh. It was so purdy and worth every bit of it's 48k asking price unless i was missing something.

    She was so purdy not gonna lie i felt a little dirty and like maybe i was doing something wrong looking for the next plane ticket before talking it over with my wife.

    Does your wife consult with you beforehand every time she buys yet another pair of boots or some $200 hair product or trades up to the latest iPhone? (Just using examples that come to mind for some reason lol.)

    A few hundred is a lot different than 100k.
