Price is really high unless this thing is absolutly show room. I just bought a 88 454 Burb with 72k that is just abou as clean as they get. Little fade in the carpet and driver side seat needs a new foam base. Otherwise perfect inside and good paint outside.

It's easier to list what optioons it doesn't have. It didn't come with limited slip and if doesn't have the factory tinted windows. It's otherwise loaded including rear window Defrost and Dual A/C. I paid $5k for it and that's $1k above what www.kbb.com said was going rate. It was worth it. I really don't see a 305 Chevy 1/2 ton being worth $6k

Guy I bought it from bought it when it was 2 years old. He and his wife used it to pull a Airstream. Even with those low miles it's been to Cali at least twice. When it wasn't towing it was in a carport parked next to the 31ft Airstream it towed. Gentelman that I bought it from was 86 and you wouldn not have known it. Super nice guy. He and his wife was to the point where they couldn't travel as much so they sold the Airstream and didn't need the truck. It had a wopping 1200 miles put on it in the last 2 year. They had a 10 year old Caprice in the garge (last year before the round body) with about 30 k on it.

He also had a 72 long bed with a 402 and 157,000 original miles that was in excelent condition.

Here is the burb and the 1959 Airstream that it was bought to pull.
