# Tom Diablo :
Hmmm.... I'll check out the stepside bed if I manage to find one in somewhat usable condition. OR a longbed if I find one. (The wheels are mod-only if I am not mistaken so I can't put them on the C10) With the wheels I think I'll check out some other C10s as I want it classic
(Mine are always at the very front of my 17 inch rim section, that's why I recommended 😛 )
So I drove back up north to investigate something that I thought I saw last time I was in the area. Didn't want to be snooping around at midnight.
Drove up onto someone's farm house because I thought I spotted a car worth looking at inside.
I went and found the owners of the house, an older couple probably about 65-70 years old. I talked to them a little while, then asked about the car in the barn.
Went out and heard the unmistakable sound of a boxer when it finally decided to turn over and the gentleman drove it outside.
Now once I saw this, the first thing I thought was "I already own three cars damnit, I can't afford to get a fourth."
But then I saw the paper work for the car. It was a genuine, from the factory, GC8 STi. Obviously not in factory condition, but the car is very salvageable.
I asked him what he wanted for it and he said $2000. I was very shocked. He told me it had been sitting there for a long about 7 years in the same condition. His grandson and him and worked on the engine a few times and that's why it was even able to start. He liked to play in the car, but he eventually lost interest. I bought it from him and thanked him for even showing me. So now I own another STi. It's funny to think that I'm a Nissan guy but I own 2 Subarus and my only Nissan has a Toyota engine.
Also if you've been around since very very early in this thread, you'd know my first car was a GC as well, but it wasn't an STi, just a 2.5. I sold that car a long time ago but it's nice to have one with much more past to it. Stay tuned for more, going to be a race car build.
