100%. I know more than a handful of guys in here that could get this thing looking just like my photoshop whitewall ideal with $2000 and a few weekends, but it's not for everyone.

Maybe some day it will be the right time and it will find me again, and I'll have space to try my first Camaro clip. If a forum member adopts it, lemme come help!

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

I've seen a lot of the bought a hot rod, early truck, customcar or early sports car guy around here who didn't stick with it long.

I've known a couple of guys who got all fired up to buy hot rods because some of their friends had them but they bought them without any actual automotive knowledge. Actually pretty decent but not over the top cars. One sold his in about six months because he was upset that for all the shows he went to the car never won an award.
Another sold his after a season because his wife wouldn't ride in it because it didn't have AC and was loud and it was real loud.

Lately I think it is the mark another box on the list guys who we are seeing. Three years ago they had a Harley and wore leathers more often than not and bent your ear for hours about their trip to Sturgis or Bikeweek at Daytona. That was before or after the Corvette and somwhere in there they had a Jacked up 4x4 for a while. The good thing is that they usually have plenty of cash to buy what you are selling, the bad is that they don't keep it long.

I'm not sure what the deal is but it's an AD panel that may at least be a parts donor. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...type=top_picks

That 125K probably isn't close to the original price the owner paid either.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

try that at 164K for a Canadian buyer.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

If I had that much money to spend I'd have my pile of parts down at a friend's hot rod shop being built. They are well versed in doing what I need done. It was his shop that built this 56 Crown Victoria wagon a couple of years ago. That car is so right and perfect that people argue that it is a restored original. It would take all of that 168 Canadian K though.

thats $297,707 CAD. yikes

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

A good part of that is bragging rights for having a truck built by Icon. Having an Icon truck gets you a prime parking spot on gold chainer row at Goodguys events a fair part of the time.

The shop that built that Ford wagon that I showed can build equal or nicer trucks but doesn't have the "name" to command mega bucks. He built this truck for a local orchardist/farmer a few years ago and it still shows up there with the best of the trucks in the country.

The Icon listed above sold for $345,000!

What are they worth new from Icon??

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

From the owner ….

“ A big thank you for all the wonderful comments and bids. FYI, the build price is correct, ($360,000) but the build time frame is closer to 3 years from the initial deposit.”

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Another trying to recoup just build cost. Many here now lucky to get .50 on the dollar for completed ones and .10 on the dollar for projects.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

I would expect a totally new, semi production truck like the Icon to depreciate much like a new mass production truck. In that light 360->354 over 4 years is pretty good value holding.
Any number of shops could build the same thing in essentially unlimited numbers, it is never going to be an investment, just a depreciating asset.

I hope it makes the new owner happy. It is not for me, by means or interest.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Icon has built their brand and that brand is a big part of that sales price. Not that the truck isn't a top level truck that has a pretty good chance of wining an award at most shows but it has been round long enough to be one of the "seen it before and gave it a trophy then" rigs on the show trail . That is something the long timers here pretty well understand. You have your year or two with a fresh build or fresh to the area rig to win awards and after that it usually in the seen it several times before category as far as a lot of award pickers go. The same reason that if you have a real nice truck for sale it is often the guys a thousand miles away who are hot after it, It will be a new truck on the block when they drive it to shows there.

Been collecting cars and mostly trucks for about 40 years, not everyone is a car show guy…I’ve never been into it myself.

solid looking five window project truck in Enumclaw Wa https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...type=top_picks

A pretty solid looking truck that has been kept indoors for a number of years. 4500 is out of my wheelhouse for a project but may be real interesting to others.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

I've met a number of guys who have said that with an air of superiority over he years. On the other hand around 2000 I got totally burned out with the whole car show/street rod thing when everyone was caught up in the "you got to have the latest ______ or your car isn't cool" thing plus the same gold chainers who would buy that Icon truck looking down their nose at me and mine be it my 48 or my 51 Merc because they didn't have 10k paint jobs and just as spendy upholstery. I bought a sailboat and went boating with a great bunch of friends for several years and it it weren't for the HAMB and the folks in this 47/59 group I would probably be out of the whole car thing as far as shows and older rigs go.

I still don't do even close to the shows I did in the 70's in Texas or here in Washington up into the 90's . I've gotten selective and would rather drive 200 miles to a great show than 20 miles to a so so event. Not having a vehicle to enter outside of my O/T car that is old enough and has the pedigree but isn't nice enough to put out where others walk up and look it over so that isn't happening and it is staying out in the cheap seats in the parking lot. We never will hit the number of shows that we used to, We hopefully will hit a number of bucket list events around the US that require some long distance driving and will be part of trips to those areas for more then just going to shows.

That one is going to draw a lot of interest even at that price. That is about what several that were in the Auction in Nebraska a few months ago went for.

If a guy is looking for a "big" 55/59 this might well be worth looking into.

This is a solid looking and straight truck from what I can see in the photos.

Has a General Diesel with very little run time. 4 speed with a 2 speed rear end. Brakes on all axles. Custom frame. Doors close like new. No rust, very solid. Have all the parts in the bed. Many are NOS, with receipts. Clean title. On non ops. Ran a couple years ago off a can. Needs new aluminum tank fuel tank installed and battery. Trades considered for enclosed car trailer.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

That is one solid looking truck but if it were sitting in my garage it would be loosing that tag axle. I hope no one gets offended If I say that it looks like it has old semi truck driver written all over it. The potential though

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

I'd keep it like it is just for the conversation value.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Things like that without a real working purpose always tell me that the builder doesn't think the vehicle will get enough attention on it's own without something to add some bubba factor.

When you walk around the local car show and see the car with the drive in tray on the window with fake burger and drink mug on it or the drive in speaker stand next to it or other trinkets set out for display those tell me that the owner doesn't think the car will get enough attention on it's own merit. Same as the guy who has to start his engine and gun it several times every half hour on the half hour.
