1971 Chevrolet C20
Owned by: Sasha Novotny @sashathekid
Growing up I have always wanted an action style chevy, and tried many times to buy our family friend’s 1970 GMC farm truck that he had since high school, but he was always reluctant to sell. Though it wasn’t the exact truck, I finally saved up enough to buy a very similar 1971 C20 farm truck with all natural patina. I’m not sure exactly how long it had been sitting in the field as there was no record of the last time it was registered, but my guess would be at least 20 years. The coolest part is the truck remained almost completely original and numbers matching. I was able to get the original motor to run, I had original th400 rebuilt, went through the engine, and replaced all the suspension , steering, brakes, and other wear parts, but kept everything as original as possible. The exterior looks about the same as the day it left the farm, but the truck runs and drives so well now.

Was sitting in mass for 20 years or more, located on google earth through hearing about it. It's a rare bird. Factory 421 4 speed wagon and it's verified through PHS documents. Not many wagons were a stick with a 421. The owner agreed to sell it to me if I agreed not to sell it because everyone else wanted to buy the car and flip it. I have the original 421 but it was out of the car and seized. I put a 400 in the car to get it running for now. It needs a lot of work but it will get there, it's a blast to drive!

Saw it languishing in the side lot of a repair shop. My coworker knew the truck from when he was a kid and also knew the owner of the show. He said the guy would never sell it so l tried to forget about it and never asked the guy. Fast forward a few years and I see it in the light at a local tow company. The next day I see it outside sitting in all four of its drums. I knew I'd kick myself if I didn't ask and found out it was scrapped. I enquired within and they said yes it was for sale, yes it had a title and they would deliver it anywhere I wanted if I paid the asking price. I got the money to them the next afternoon. They had the truck in my driveway before I had the money in their hand. I am technically the second owner on paper.

This car was the first V8 i've rided. It belonged to a close friend who passed away a few years ago. His daughter inherited the car, but didn't care much about it. So after a really long negotiation, i've could buy it. It has a 292 Yblcok with a C-4 transmission. This one i regret selling!!!
