Pilothouse Woodie on EBay

[Charles Furman]

I just listed my 1948 Dodge Pilothouse 4x4 Woodie on EBay.  It will be interesting to see the level of interest, especially in this economy.  I imagine I will mostly see tire kickers and people wanting a fire sale.  Fortunately, I don't have to sell it.

well it looks like you got a bid.....$200!  WOW!    I sure hope you keep it, I'd cringe to think what some would do to such a great piece of history.

Hopefully the new owners keep it original!

The guy who bought my Dodge B1B108 4x4 woodie is a true Dodge truck guy who said he bought it because it was a very rare original woodie and he plans to keep it that way.  It made me feel really good to hear that. 

 

Less than an hour after the woodie was sold I got an email from a guy who said he was just sick that he didn't see the auction until after it was sold.  He said he was willing to pay much more than $70,000 and asked me if I would sell it to him.  I told him, "sorry, a deal is a deal".  I even told the guy who bought it that he could flip it and make some easy money and he said he would rather have the woodie.

 

Now I am moving on to upgrade my other Dodge B1B108 Woodie starting with a 5.7L Hemi and 727 transmission.  I'll post more about this project on another thread.

is the new owner going to join our little band of brothers (and sisters)?

[Charles Furman]

I'll tell him about the group.  Hopefully he will join us.

How marvelous your family woodie sold for 70k...Awesome!  I've followed the Furman Woodie for a while.  Not only do I respect your "deal is a deal" but I'm very glad it is going to a home that's going to take good care of the truck.
