MOODSTER Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 My bro Derek and I scooped this up yesterday.It is a time capsule. I'll throw the photo's out and give the details later.I will tell you that this was a one owner truck with less than 43000 miles and was being converted to a Buick 231 V-6. It has been stored in a garage since 1978.many of the custom parts like the Flex thru window and dual sunroof had never been on the road. This is the roots of mini truckin. Enjoy! Oh, in the last photo you will see the warranty card. The owner lived on Moody street. My last name is Moody. 4 Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Congratulations ! ! Now this is what I am talking about. There HAS TO BE more of these trucks resting in someone's garage. This truck is a prime example. LeVan flex thru window, Imaginary Glass front wrapkit flares and spoiler, Western Cyclone1 rims. An incredible find. Hope to see this truck completed "as is" one day. Keep looking and tracking down those leads, this shows You CAN find a vintage truck ! ! Quote Link to comment
Willdatsun Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 apart from the headlamps, i like it! amazing it wouldn't have been very old when put away Quote Link to comment
Will Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Gremlin taillights! Awesome! Quote Link to comment
tycot1 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 change nothing! finish it the way it would have been finished. the only thing that would look good might be a bit of something on that tailgate and of course a rear bumper to match the front. awesome truck. i thought i saw some amc stuff, door handles too maybe?

ggzilla Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 The flex window is great! Whole truck too. Quote Link to comment

MOODSTER Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 You seem to get a lot of custom trucks from Bo Derek, I mean what does she know about custom trucks? HA! You must be at least our age ( late forties) or older to even know who Bo Derek even is. Quote Link to comment

pharouh Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 That truck rocks! Those headlightts might be from a Chevy Monza. That was a popular conversion way back then. It's got the same bed I have. Could you post some pics of the tailgate hinges? Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 That is AWESOME! What a great find. Quote Link to comment
MOODSTER Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Why do people send me E-mails and PM'S asking if I will sell parts off of this truck? Would a geologist who digs up a rare dinosaur skeleton sell just the skull or a femur? Jeez? For anyone else that's curious-- Yes, I'll sell the Flexthru rear window.It's like brand new, never seen the road. Price ----$1000.00 CASH! Let's see who is interested now! Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I love those door handles!!! As for the Flex-Thru...I think that is an excellent price, I sold mine on Ebay 10 years ago for $500.00! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 That means that there are only 3 in existance, I have the third. Wonder if I will now get Flex-Thru requests? Oh, and I'll one up Moodys offer..... for $1000.00 You also get an origional all color sales brochure in mint condition (I have 3 of those) ! ! ! Quote Link to comment

Brad Yup, Buick 231.It was never finished( drive train and steering) I have the never installed Hooker Headers that were purchased in 1977! Will you be at the BBQ again this year? I may have my stepson roll it out for display on my trailer.It is a time capsule! Quote Link to comment
