No buyers yet for man's million-mile Chevy


.
CATAWBA, Wis. (AP) — A northern Wisconsin man still is driving his 1991 Chevrolet Silverado that's traveled more than a million miles.

Frank Oresnik says he failed to sell what he calls his "old girl" during a 10-day auction on eBay with a minimum bid of $30,000.
All he got was a couple of feelers from the auction that ended Sunday, he said.

But he's not giving up.

The 58-year-old Oresnik said he is going to put the truck back on eBay later this week with no minimum bid.

Over the years, the truck has had four radiators, three gas tanks and six water pumps but the engine is original.

Oresnik bought the truck 12 years ago when it had 41,000 miles. He has received national attention for reaching the million-mile mark.
