Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

$22,500.00 DOLLARS!

That's a pretty truck and it sure is clean, but that's a lot of money.  Obviously I hope they get it, but did I mention that $22,500 is a lot of money?

Is this truck clean enough to add to the picture gallery?

If that is too much for you, Gary, you can have mine for half that!!!

Wow!

Best offer on the ad . .so he's seeing if there is interest. Low miles, really sweet looking. Value is created by interest, doubt there is that much interest. But if you compare to what a truck costs new today . .it's a deal  :)

I have found the color on that Marti Auto .build page .
Colonial white and dark shadow blue metalic . Anybody got a picture of that color scheme with the door open and the hood up ? Funny that supercab was built in the same month as mine in the same factory .Cheers ,

You are correct on the colors, I was about to post. Got to love that Dark Shadow blue metalic and white. I will be doing this color scheme myself but I think I want the top half of the bed to be dark shadow blue met. as well.

Exactly what I'm looking to do on my 86 F-350. Wish the ebay listing was still good. Would've liked to see the other pix. Nice.

Pretty truck!  I see why you want to paint yours like that.

Someone did a lousy job on repainting the upper half of the Victorian tu-tone.  

Look how slanted the top stripe is.  It is supposed to be straight across, and then curl down when it reaches the the end of the front clip.

Trying to clear the door handle?>..

Someone did a custom job on repainting the upper half of the Victorian tu-tone.  

Sorry, but "lousy" isn't the right word here (regardless of my obvious preference as seen below ).

I would be closer, although it's still a clean job, to calling this 34k Bronco out in that regard as the door is straight but the fender slants down.


But I will say I am no doubt biased in favor of the slant. This was the truck that I was dead set on using the same style and color scheme on. In the end, I deviated from it a little in style and color (and if I were to do it again I would probably get rid of the factory lower trim for a cleaner look). If I didn't have a tan interior I would have definitely gone with the factory blue exterior. The blue/white is a very sharp combo.

It is *supposed* to look more like this:

Oh don't misunderstand me, I am not arguing where the factory line was. I am saying that with the blue/white truck it is obvious they intended for the slant to be there and from the photos I've looked at, it is well done.

One could make a comment about the wording used of "factory-correct repaint" on BaT if they wanted...
