At that time it wasn't worth anything either. Oh well, it is what it is. These trucks will continue to go up in value until they reach the point that the market won't bear anymore. The everyone will move on to the next "vehicle of choice" and it will just be those of us who really love them that are looking for them then.
Ha ha,yeah! Let's see...I've had a '65 GTO,'63 Riviera,'63 Nova SS,3 '55 Chevys,'65 Biscayne,'62 Impala SS (409),didn't pay as much as $3,000 for any of them. I passed on a loaded black on black leather 427/4spd/posi '67 Vette Coupe for $5,000 because I didn't have a place to park it inside. Heck,I could have bought a house with a garage and left it in there for 30 years and retired off it.
