A Catawba, Wis., man says he’s planning to put his 1991 Chevrolet Silverado on eBay tonight now that he’s crossed the million-mile mark. Crossing seven figures isn’t that common, though in the last couple of years we can think of a Saab , a VW and a couple of pickups that made that feat. But owner Frank Oresnik thinks he has something special.
Oresnik told the Associated Press that he plans to set a $30,000 reserve on the old pickup when it goes on eBay because he considers it a monumental achievement. Oresnik accumulated in the mileage in 12 years of owning it by delivering seafood from Chicago to small towns in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.
“I feel almost like the long-time NFL player as he goes into his last training camp knowing this is the end,” Oresnik told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. It’s unclear whether Wisconsinite Oresnik sees his Silverado as the Brett Favre of pickups, however.
Oresnik says that he thinks GM and Shell would be interested in acquiring the truck.
[Update:] Here’s a link to the auction, which went live earlier today.
