Topic starter

There is someone selling this truck for 1350. It has 110k miles has the 360 engine in it with a 727 automatic transmission. Guy says there is no spark but that is the extent of the issues so i'm guessing a bad distributor or coil but what is your guys opinion good buy or bad buy?


Also has a really nice but old flat bed on it with tool boxes on the sides and a fuel tank on the back.

Buyer Beware. The guy says "no spark". That doesn't mean that it  doesn't also have a blown head gasket.

It's only $1,350 bucks. It only has 113,000 miles on it.

You can scrap it for $350, so are you willing to gamble  $1,000?

If the truck looks good otherwise, no bad rust underneath, no visible issues like milky-brown residue on the dipstick, or oil in the tailpipe, then it might be worth the gamble if you like the truck.

Just give this some thought. It's a 34 year old truck that doesn't run.

If you have to have it, try to barter him down below  $1,000. That way, with the option to sell it for scrap, your "exposure" will be less if your gamble doesn't pay off
