That price seems quite high and I'm not sure I agree with his 1 of 2 surviving statement. Seems like they made a lot more then 40 of them too.

ain't got no dog in that fight as they say...I pretty much put 90% of most write-up as BS and hype...pay 50 percent of what they think it is worth and expect to see only 50% of what is pictured when you get the car delivered and you may be content with any deal..

Quick google search turned up this:

"Powell began manufacturing their radios in 1928 and moved on to the manufacture of motor scooters shortly thereafter. The pickup trucks and station wagons (both labeled Sportwagon), which are the focus of the Registry, began production in late 1954 as 1955 models. Most production took place in 1956, ending with very few 1957 models being built. Our Survivors page lists just over 100 known vehicles; about thirty are 1955s and three 1957s; the remainder were built as 1956s. Our best estimate is that 1,020 pickups and 300 station wagons were produced, along with tens of thousands of scooters, three motor homes (Camp Cars), and at least one pickup slide-in camper. The Sportwagon was also offered with a camper. Powell Brothers manufactured mini bikes from the mid 1960s through about 1971. "
