[Awesome '57 GMC 100]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site but my love for vintage pickups goes back to when I was a kid. My name is C. Van Tune and I've been an automotive journalist since 1981, including being the Editor-in-Chief of Motor Trend Magazine from 1994-2001. I currently have a TV show on ESPN called "DRIVE."

I want your members to know that I'm placing my fully restored 1957 GMC 100 for sale. The truck is a true time capsule from 50 years ago and has been a California vehicle since new; it still has its black license plate. I am only the third owner, and I searched for years before finding this lil' beauty. It is in wonderful stock condition, with the 270 I-6 and all other items restored to original. The odometer reads a bit over 74,400 miles and I have no doubt those are genuine miles. It looks and drives awesome.

If you're interested, I've listed it on eBay. Here's the link, with a lot of photos and a thorough description:

This is a no-disappointments truck that I really want to see go to a GM enthusiast. I will be happy to answer any questions...just call me at 325/998-3398. Thanks, Van

update: This is not the truck (I'm not sure anyhow) but I'm adding a photo here to show what that year looks like.

Wow, great looking truck. :great:

That is one "Sic" GMC. Deserving of every penny you get for it. Wow!

Thanks for the thread

Thanks for the nice words, guys. It drives as sweet as it looks. It was a tough decision to sell it but I'm out of garage space---I'm sure you all know about that!
Regards, Van

Welcome to the site and you were not kidding about such a fine looking classic!:great:

Someday when I grow up I want such a truck in my collection. Best of luck selling her!

Many serious inquiries about the truck? Looks like you've got a couple of bites but it's just cracked the minimum entry mark.

Wish I would have grabbed and saved these photos, this was a gorgeous truck. Maybe I can find them online.
