Technical A rare find indeed.

Was kinda browsing FB and found this very rare piece.

If you hang it from the ceiling it's OK.

 

Must have been built on a Monday or a Friday!

 

Nice price!

 

Plus it's one of them rare wooden tailgates! Only used for a few months during the war.

 

They misspelled "FORD".

 

NO LOW BALLERS, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S GOT!!

 

I'd run that. On my F100!

 

I guess if you don't know how a tailgate works.....

 

Hang it in front of a mirror.

 

That's for the optional dump bed

 

IMHO, Photo shop or a reverse negative, I wouldn't think Chevrolet would have invested in the tooling to stamp it upside down and backwards. HRP

 

if you look close at the pictures, it's a perfectly normal tailgate. He took pictures of it from the inside, and sitting upside down. If he took a picture from the back of the tailgate, with the latch ears at the top, it would look just like any other Chevy tailgate.

 

hey i got two of them, one for a stepside and one for a fleetside.

 

I am guessing the guy was being facetious…

 

Either he's an idiot, or he enjoys making others look like idiots. Hard to guess which.

 

I'm not sure if he was b.s.ing or really was trying to sell it as such. Just giggled when I saw it. I think I will respond to him and ask if it's for a short or long bed.

 

Hahahahaha...

Every once in a while I'll see a fb ad from some smart-alec.
Saw one for a boiled hot dog.

 

Or there will be an idiot out there that will fall for it and cough up a stupid amount.
You have all heard about the "ghost in a jar"??? Google it.
Remember, scammers probably wouldn't exist if there were no gullible, greedy people.......

 

Hey Ricky, got a link to that hot dog?...I'm hungry

 

Ask him for photos from the "inside"

 

Even if it's real, why would anyone want it?

 

I want to meet this Miss Print he's talking about...

 

Collectors pay big $$ for misprinted or error stamps, coins and trading cards. I imagine it would be a similar crowd?

 

Yeah, too much excess cash.

 

could use as furniture and install upside down just for added fun - these were at stockton, ca swap

 

For the folks who aren't on Facebook and can't see the price....it's $7,777,777.00 Listing this one in the Classifieds for $7,777,776.00. PM me if interested.

 

I’ve got a similar Studebaker tail gate

 

uh...you forgot the upside down part.

Fixed it.
