Sorry, no. It's a picture I googled. Try "Crosley pickup for sale".
I did, and I got About 735,000 results.
Which is funny, because I would be willing to bet there weren't anywhere NEAR that many built.
Can you ID that Vehicle?

Interesting that you should ask. My uncle and I stopped by the place to checkout the old cars he had in Sept 2012. We walked around an open yard, just off Route 66, east of town and were looking at his Henry Js and Studebakers and just as we were about to leave the owner was motioning us to come on in to his shop. We were in town for a funeral, not car shopping, but we thought it would be rude to not oblige him. So we walked over to the shop that sits further back of his lot and saw that he has a restoration projects going. He asked us to please sign his logbook, which we did. That's when it got interesting.
It turns out he married a gal who lived in the next farm over from ours. The same farm where my grandparents and my aunts and uncles lived in a tent while they built their own farm house in the forties. This is a family that my uncle knew very well. All the farms have dried up there, including ours which is in ruins. He said his main business is leasing land to windmill companies. He pointed to some that he had on a distant mesa, southeast of town.
I asked what he was asking for the Henry Js.
He said, "Not for sale. None of my cars are for sale."
"Really?", I said.
"Yeah, not for sale". He said.
Later that day, I asked another one of my uncles, who has lived there all his life, about the guy.
He said. "He will deal, but he is real quiet about it".
It probably has something to do with business taxes and such. I know I picked up one of his cards, but I haven't seen it in a while.
Looking at GoogleEarth he is at N35 10' 12" W103 39' is the best I can do. Just east of the KOA. The Crosley used to sit in the NW corner of his lot. I can't make it out in the latest street image. It may be gone or moved. Here are some other pictures that I took.

Thats a awesome story. That would be an interesting place to visit.
Agree on the interesting story bit. I wonder how many of those kinds of lots are all over this country; there used to be one on the outskirts of our town, too.
I will let him know that location, maybe he can track it down. Thanks.

I was working in West Texas last year and I would drive through all these little rural towns and would find lots and ranches with cool old cars just sitting slowly dying. In San Angelo there is an area where the junk yards are and one yard has a whole fenced off lot of tons of sweet olf Plymoths and Packards and just all kinds of old rides and most look complete. There are still plenty of places out there with treasure.
I can't take it any more.
It's an 1969 Intermechannica Italia (was once called a "Torino", until Ford got irritated with the company). They had a Ford V-8 (I think this one has a 302, but you could get a 351C in them).

The judges say they will accept all above answers and that they think the GT40 is a damm sexy car 
Porsche 917
Neatus, I think I saw one of these on the road Tuesday. At least close enough from what I saw of it. So if you want one, they seem to be available. I was too far away to read the tail label. Had lines quite similar to a Z, but seemed smaller. as if it'a Civic rather than larger Maxima chassis.
Nice looking car in real life.

That thing has license plates. Talk about Stoplight Grand Prix! Although as awesome as these cars are, the Porsche factory drivers weren't really fond of them.
Probably too easy
Cool car from the best car movie ever.
Maybe the best race car ever. Don't believe the license plate is real, that or this was a kit car.
