A numbers-matching 1972 Chevrolet C20 has resurfaced for sale in Santee, California, listed on eBay by seller jfence1 as an all-original barn find with genuine restoration potential. The three-quarter-ton pickup still rides on its factory drivetrain, the kind of unmolested survivor that many collectors now chase harder than trucks that have already been restored.1972 Chevrolet C20 front grille barn findAccording to the eBay listing, this C20 carries its original paint, engine, and transmission, all wearing matching numbers, alongside a 402-cubic-inch big block V8 paired with an automatic transmission and a tilt steering wheel. The seller describes it as "a great restoration project," noting that similarly restored examples have sold for far more, though that figure reflects finished, fully restored trucks rather than this one's current as-found condition.1972 Chevrolet C20 Custom/20 badge close-upThe truck is listed as two-wheel drive with a clean title. eBay shows a $9,850 Buy It Now price alongside a live auction that had reached $7,550 at the time of writing, with a $250 deposit required for immediate payment on either purchase path.
