Just watched this on Barrett Jackson sell for $81,000. I'm speechless.

Summary: The classic style of this 1955 Chevrolet pickup has been merged with all of the "high tech" attributes of a modern Mercedes-Benz SUV.
Details: It doesn't get any better than this. Take the most desirable '55 Chevy pickup with a short bed, step side, big back window and make it a "show stopper" with an amazing paint job by Metalworks Classics and carbon fiber/smoke Graphics by Full Blown Customs. Then merge it with the class-leading attributes of Mercedes-Benz like anti-lock 4-wheel discs, 4-wheel independent suspension, 5-speed automatic transmission, front and side-impact airbags, all-wheel drive and SOHC 3.2-liter aluminum V6. The Mercedes-Benz 4-wheel independent suspension gives the truck a sedan-like ride and with its 215hp V6 engine, it truly drives like a sports sedan. Best of all, because it is actually a Mercedes-Benz SUV with '55 Chevy sheet metal on it, you can enjoy driving a real classic truck and still have it serviced at Mercedes Benz dealerships. On the highway, this Chevy truck combines smooth ride quality with positive handling and surprisingly brisk acceleration for a vehicle that weighs more than 2 tons, 0-to-60 mph in 9 seconds. This truck has been shown 6 times and won 8 awards including "The award of excellence at the Tri-five Nationals, Best 55-59 pickup, Best of Show pickup at Springfield Cruz, Best 55-59 pickup, Best 4x4 truck at the Brother's Truck Show, "Top 3 pick" at the Florence Invitational, "Top 10" pick of 874 cars in the Run to the Sun at Lake Havasu and an invitation to the Oregon Rod and Custom Show in February. Metalworks Classics of Oregon has created a Chevrolet truck that is built "Like a Rock". Of course, this one-of-a-kind truck is also a dream to drive.

 

Saw that too this afternoon. Some of the prices are flat out crazy. My wife and I are sitting there wondering where people get all this money? There was one couple that had bought a bunch of cars. I don't get it?

 

Saw this roll across the block last night too. Pretty cool.
