93 Typhoon - Alexandria TN - Wrecked

Just got an interesting/out of the blue phone call here at the lot.

Guy called asking if I knew which employee drove the White/Grey Typhoon that he saw here last year.

Then proceeded to tell me that he's got a '93 that he bought out of Texas many years ago sitting in his yard on blocks underneath a tarp that he was repairing yet lost interest in.

Claims it was hit in the drivers side wheel area. Said that he originally bought it for his son but they lost interest. Claims that the drivers door won't shut, the floor is pushed up where the pedals are, has a "replaced stock s10 front end and door".

Says it's black/black...93....has sun roof and he's in Alexandria TN near Center Hill Lake. Also said that he goes by "Sarge" and that he was on American Pickers on April 9th selling them a gas pump and that the Ty is in the background in the episode, but partially hidden under the tarp.

Anyhoo, his name is Jim York. He's going to email me some pictures, the VIN and additional information later on today.

Just sharing an odd-out-of-the-blue phone call that resulted in finding another long lost Ty.

*BTW....says he has $7500 in it and is looking to sell it and would entertain any "reasonable offers".

Said that "he knows these are rare and that ones with over 100,000 are going for close to $20k online". :roll:

Oh, and IIRC, he said it has 26k on it? I can't believe I wrote down everything else on this piece of paper other than the mileage.

Oh, on that note. He claims that as soon as he bought it and brought it back to Tennessee, that he frame-swapped it.

Still no email from this dude. I am not going to keep following up with him and holding his hand. If anyone wants his contact information that would be interested in this truck, PM me.

This dude...

Stops into the dealership today and proceeds to tell me everything that he told me before, but this time, he is wanting to sell it so that he can buy a warehouse full of antiques down in TX or some shit.

Blah Blah "i paid $5500 for it, have another $1,000 in it, drivers side f*cked up, 3 of the 4 wheels busted, has the "factory moon roof" option, says that the cladding is pretty much f*cked. And he KNOWS that sub-100k trucks are bringing well over $20,000 and that if someone fixed this one they could get $20k for it easy and blah blah blah".

Dunno if dude is smoking crack or what. He didn't seem fazed when he made the comment of him having $7k in it and knows it's worth that and then I replied "well I paid $6500 for mine with 90k on it and running".

Said some dude he knows is willing to give him $5500 for it right now. Told him he's stupid if he doesn't take that and wished him best of luck.

I bought mine for $5K. It ran and drove fine...had/has like 176K miles on it, but only about 67K miles on the motor. Mine too has the "factory moon roof" option, which probably lessens the value at least a $1K or so...they all have leaked, or in my case, still leak! I agree that he is dumb if he doesn't take the $5,500, but he is probably just making that shit up.
