Description
Vintage trucks like this Chevy blends durability with style, creating a lasting appeal!
Known for simplicity and reliability, these models remain collector favorites and one of the best reasons to buy an old truck is because they’re inexpensive.
I guess if you decide to buy an old truck, it will probably come with some nicks and dings, a spot of rust here or there, maybe some replacement parts, and miles. Lots and lots of miles. But instead of looking at this like a bad thing, consider it a positive; somebody else has already done all the wearing in for you.
ABOUT THIS TRUCK
- Factory RHD
- Manufactured in Canada, this is an original body built in Petone, New Zealand.
- First time on the market since 1968
- Fully streamlined, all steel cab on wooden floors
- Speedy, economical and efficient vehicle for a variety of uses.
- One family owned since 1968.
- Truck had some restoration sometime in the 70's and used in many rally's.
- Has had a new radiator fitted in recent years, a rechromed grill and truck has been converted to 12 volts. The brake cylinders have been sleeved with stainless steel new front brake hoses. Also had a new manifold gasket fitted, a new hot box to manifold gasket rebuilt, had carburetor work, and a new set of points and plugs.
- In recent years, truck has been regularly started and used, and done circa 500kms between warrants.
- This is a rare, NZ New truck in need of restoration, mainly body and paint. If you wanted it concours, it would have to be stripped down to bare metal and re painted but it can also be used as it is or subjected to a lesser type of restoration. Mechanically it seems sound and certainly starts, runs and driver very well. The interior is OK but again, could do with a tidy up.
- Price reflects condition and it certainly has potential to be turned into something very special.
- Highly collectable.
If you’re in the market for a new adventure vehicle, you may be surprised to learn that the best option might be an old truck. It seems counter-intuitive, but sometimes everything old is new again.
Also old trucks are humble and honest and nostalgic.
Trucks are still generally cheaper to acquire than a lot of classic cars—cheaper to restore, easier to modify or upgrade and more durable and utilitarian than most vintage cars to drive, even on a daily basis.
The new-car market’s appetite for trucks is bleeding into the vintage world. Yet maybe the most important (and optimistic) force behind the vintage truck boom is demographic.
For the first time in a long, long time, a shift in the market is being driven by someone other than baby boomers. In fact the leading edge of the vintage truck wave is Gen Xers and even millennials, and it has legs.
Will be sold WOF'd and Registered.
Transport / Shipping can be organised for Buyer's behalf at Buyer's cost.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
