"NEVER SPENT THE NIGHT OUTSIDE OF HENRY COUNTY"

THE 1951 DODGE (JOB RATED) TRUCK WAS PURCHASED HERE IN CLINTON, MISSOURI BY THE HARGRAVE FAMILY FARM AND IT WAS TRANSFERRED ONLY ONCE, FROM UNCLE TO NEPHEW. IT 'REPORTLY' HAS NEVER SPENT A NIGHT OUTSIDE OF HENRY COUNTY, MISSOURI. IT HAS BEENBARN STORED FORIT ENTIRE LIFEAND THE MILEAGE IS CORRECT. THE FAMILY TRADED THIS TRUCK IN TO OUR NEW DODGE STORE IN OCTOBER, 1988 AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PERFECT TO PROMOTE OUR NEWLY OPENED SMALL BUSINESS. IT WAS USED IN PARADES, CAR SHOWS AND FOR SHORT (IN TOWN) PARTS DELIVERIES. IN 1993 WE WERE BEGINNING TO HEAR COMPLAINTS FROM OUR EMPLOYEES REGARDING THE LACK OF AN EFFECTIVE WINTERTIME HEATER,. AND BECAUSE OF THIS, THE LITTLE BLUE TRUCK WAS TUCKED BACK AWAY IN ONE OF OUR STORAGE BUILDINGS FOR THE NEXT 24 YEARS. NOW, WE HAVE DECIDED THAT IT IS NOW TIME TO BEGIN SELLING OFF SOME OF OUR 100 CAR AND TRUCK COLLECTION. ITS OVERALL CONDITION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED "UNRESTORED". IT HAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF RUST AND THESE AREAS WILL BE ILLUSTRATED IN THE PICTURES BELOW. THE WHITEWALL TIRES ARE WELL OVER 25 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BEFORE TRAVELING OVER ANY PUBLIC ROAD. THE BED WOOD, IS BELIEVED TO BE ORIGINAL AS IS THE HEADLINER (WITH HOLES) AND THE FLOORMAT (MORE HOLES). IT DOES RUN GOOD AND THE 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY WELL.. AGAIN, EVEN WITH THESE THINGS SAID, OUR TRUCK SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNRESTORED. WE DID CONVERT THE TRUCK TO 12 VOLT AND CORRECTLY ADDED A 12 VOLTAGE REGULATOR AND GENERATOR. AS ILLUSTRATED, WHEN WE TRADED FOR THE TRUCK, THE ODOMETER READING WAS 66091 MILES AND AS MR. HARGRAVE DID ATEST, THIS WAS THE TRUE AND ACTUAL MILEAGE. AS OF THIS DATE, THE READING IS NOW 77862.

BUILT IN DETROIT OUR 'PILOT HOUSE' TRUCK WAS NUMBER 4693 THAT ROLLED DOWN THE LINE

JUST RELAX AND CHECK OUT THE TRUCK..

WE SAY "RELAX", BECAUSE MANY TIMES, AS CAUTIOUS ADULTS, WE FIND OURSELVES WORRYING MORE ABOUT THE SELLER THAN THE PRODUCT.. IS THE SELLER REALLY JUST A FEW HUNDRED MILES AWAY... OR FIVE HUNDRED MILES AWAY OR ARE THEY IN PAKISTAN, ETHOPIAOR INDIA. THE JIM RAYSIK AUTO GROUP IS IN CLINTON, MISSOURI AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 30 YEARS.. POPULATION 9000.. SMALL ENOUGH THAT IF YOU WOULD CALL THE LOCAL POLICE STATION, YOU'D GET A REFERENCE, A GOOD ONE. SMALL ENOUGH THAT IF YOU WERE TO CALL THE HENRY COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, YOU'D GET A REFERENCE, A GOOD ONE.. AND IF YOU'RE STILL WORRIED ABOUT TRICKERY, LOOK US UP ON THE NET, CALL THE NUMBER THAT'S LISTED.. WE'RE HERE/WE'RE REAL, SOOOOOOO.. PLEASE RELAX..

WE LOVE OLD CARS AND HAVE OVER 100 ! !
