Double tapped the zero or it got stuck!
The truck wasn't all he imported...
There must be some good stuff under the seats from columbia sniff it.
It does get "standing ovations" from strangers as he drives by... so it has that going for it 
Yet another example of rampant bloating of the market.

What's the point in a for sale ad like that? At most that's an $8K AUD truck (and with effort searching it could well be found for half that), plus $3K-$4K USD for shipping, customs, etc. Even if you went through an outfit like AUStoUSA who would do all of the work of finding and bringing it over you could easily come in under $15K.
Is this just a case of "I promised my wife I would try to sell it?" An attempt to gather exposure? A hope that someone will offer $25K - $30K? I don't get it.

The $60K asking price is a perfect example of the greedy nature of humanity and someone's naive expectation that some pathetic buyers will actually purchase this highly sought after model in its original UN-restored state at a heavy premium. Even a fully restored example is a hard sell at that price unless you are a millionaire and price is no object, but not here.
Alotta people see a Mecum auction and think their s*** is a bargain at $60k..........list it for 2-3 weeks on ebay and craigs and then offload it to the neighbor for the $12500 that they were offered.
