Re: Don't Ruin The Value Of Classic Trucks

I watch classic muscle car auctions and when a super nice truck that you can see they put tons of money into go for half of what it's worth. I think the Classic Truck market needs to step up so these trucks get the respect they deserve I look on Ebay and see some real nice trucks going for very little money. I know the economy is soft now, but these trucks are slowly disappearing. It is getting hard to find a nice one that is not rusting away or been cut and chopped. I really love Chevy Trucks and just want to give them a better value than what I am seeing on the market.
If one has any wits about them, (at least I knew) from Day 1, I was NEVER going to get out, what I put IN to a vehicle of mine.
Of coarse I NEVER think I'm going to sell it eaither.

Case in point, 8 years ago I bought a 67 Chevy C-10 Fleetside Shortbed for $4200.00. Put ANOTHER $12K into it. Hit hard times and soldd it for $8200.00.
If I had held out for my "Invested Money", I'd have never sold it.

Just my .02 cents worth.
