There is a man in my hometown, named George. This man claims that he owns and daily drives a 94-96 (he never specified year) Silverado "SS" that is worth a MILLION dollars. He claim's he gets calls from GM almost everyday asking if they can buy the truck back from him. Hell, he even told me that whenever i left from talking to him. That he could go home right then and have a message on his answer machine, with a money offer. :woott:

The truck is a Maroon SC/SB, 2wd, Red interior, late 90's model silverado. And he did pop the hood and showed me the big V8 under the hood. But it just looked like a normal 350 small block to me. Supposedly when this truck was made GM "screwed up" and put in an "LS Corvette" engine he claims. He also claimed since that was a MAJOR F UP on GM's behalf and that they freaked out and wanted these "screw up's" back. He told me that they got all of them but one back....his. He said the others are in museums, but didnt know where. :roflmao: I could barely hold back the tears of laughter right in his face.

But im asking and hoping that this is not true. Cause if so im gonna feel really bad about almost laughing in his face.

Considering the LS engines didn't go into production until 97 that would be one hell of a production error. Somebody smuggled them out of R&D and installed them in a truck that was never designed to take them. Add that to the fact that there was no SS truck in the years 94-96 and I think it's a story.

If my truck was worth a million I probably wouldn't driving it.

If its true, he's an idiot for not taking the million.

If it's not true then he's just an idiot.


I'm pretty sure a million dollars is enough to buy a used '96 truck and stuff a new LS motor in and still have 950k+ left in the bank.

I agree that he is full of shit. Because he wouldnt let me right down the vin. And when i asked if i could take a picture of it and he said he had to go. But im gonna go do some recon to see if can catch him slipping and take a picture.

I dont know gaser's very well. But i used to have a 89 GMC that had a 305 in it. The engine underneath his hood looked like a bigger 305 but hey wtf do i know...in other words its nothing fancy. And i agree 100% if i was offered that kinda money for my truck it would have been gone a LONG time ago. And i would not be driving it....at all.

What years did they make the "454 SS" trucks? Sounds like he swapped motors in it and made the story up. Also, i thought all those "454 SS" trucks were black? If it was mine, I'd definately be lettin it go for a million. :D

Here it is...sorry about the video. I was driving at the time and I did want to stop right in front of his house. He all ready thinks its worth a million...dont want him to think i was trying to take it. lol

If anyone knows how to edit to make it show in thread....please do.

The only thing i could see that truck missing would be a bed full of gardening equipment :joker:
