Guest Studemac Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) HEY GUYSi have a 1956 Powell pickup tuck that i need to sell. I am already in the middle of working on my Studebaker so this truck will go un touched for a long time. the previous owner did alot of work to if before i got it but it still needs finished.these were built in Compton California for 3 years and only 1200 were made and less then 150 are left ( according to the Powell registry) the frame and body are very strong but it needs the body work finished and paint.the trucks were build on a 41 Plymouth frame and used a 41 Plymouth motor making this truck pretty easy to work on and parts arnt that hard to get. it could be made into a great show truck or buy it to flip and make a quick buck if you want. its in Indiana ready to sellalot of the part are off the truck but there inside the cab. we were looking for $6000 because so much has already been put in the truck but any offers accepted. this is a rare bird dont miss out!!

Guest Studemac Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Do you guys think i would have any luck on ebay? being so rare how to i get people to find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think Ebay is a good alternative, it gets the truck out in front of thousands of people. Use a good title, remembering that people don't search for the word "rare" so that's useless in a title, so "1956 Powell pick up truck Plymouth antique car automobile" will bring a lot of hits. Also, in the body of your description, list some other make and years of trucks that it's comparable to, thus people searching for those will see your truck too. Thus in the body, have "1950 1951 (and so forth) Ford Chevrolet Dodge".If you feel lucky, start it at $1000 and be prepared to accept highest offer. If not comfortable, put a reserve of $5000 or whatever the least you feel comfortable with. You could list a "buy it now" and take offers, but that sure gets lowball guys after you...Yes, I know it makes it a pain from a buyer/search standpoint, but I can tell you from a seller's standpoint it works.

Celeste Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Can you please remember if this truck was PMC 2857? I’ve been searching for it, many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
