Hi all. Found this site after a recommendation from another forum. Looks like a very healthy and active place for all my deuce questions. I assume this is the proper forum to say hello.
I'm 31 years old, male and a big car nut. I currently own a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, a 1999 Camaro Z28/B4C ex-Oregon State Patrol car, a 1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille convertible, and a 1984 Cadillac Sedan DeVille hearse. My love of vehicles is wide spread.
I don't currently own a deuce and a half. However, there is one near me (Renton) that is for sale. I'm hoping to buy it Saturday if everything goes to plan. I have been communicating with the guy via email. It sounds like a good truck, but I haven't seen it in person yet. The owner tells me it needs a new canvas top, but I think that will be a minor expense. Around $200 or so. Hopefully you guys can direct me to a place to buy a new top for it.
This is actually the third deuce I've tried to buy. The first deuce was for sale on eBay by a company in Idaho. Before the auction was over, I asked the seller if they had the paperwork for the truck that would allow me to get it licensed in Washington state. The guy said he did. After the auction was over and I was arranging shipping, the guy calls and says he can't find the paperwork. We both agreed to void the auction. Too bad because it was a nice truck. It was a desert camo, 1966 deuce.
The second truck I tried to buy was for sale locally. It was a little out of my budget, and the guy wouldn't move on the price. It was a nice truck though. Hard top, winch, cab heater and new tires. It think it was a 1967 model.
So here I am attempting to buy a 1965 deuce and hope to get it this weekend. The third time is the charm.
Thanks all for the site. I'll be sure to post pictures of the new truck.
