Re: What are show quality trucks REALLY worth?
I tend to look at them with the concept of "can I buy it for less than I could build it for?"
Quite often a world beating show quality truck is for sale simply because it has had it's year and won just about all the trophies it is going to win, at least in it's home area. Usually at a price well below what one of us could build an equal truck for.
If it's a "restored" truck I'd want to know a few things before forking over any money though.
How old is the restoration?
Who did the restoration?
How accurate is the restoration?
Numbers matching rig?
All the proper pieces that go on the truck there including correct manifolds and carburetor and air cleaner?
Correct wheels and tires and hubcaps?
Those are some of the things that to me add to or make a "restored truck" worth the extra money.
