Re: Green and white on EBAY

Initial glance - wow, nice! Closer inspection - after you read the 36k mi claim, it probably would be worth more if it were left alone, however - the fact that it wasn't left alone means it must've needed it. Eng rebuild, new paint, new interior=new truck. Agreed that an original grille would look nicer. The mirrors, oh my, sure wish folks didn't top off an expensive resto with Autozone mirrors. You can swap em out, but the holes are still there - and it was just painted. But these are nit picks - overall it looks very nice and the nits are just that, nit picks. If you can live with the mirrors and the houndstooth which was never on anything til 71 (and many folks do this because they look so nice), AND it's really what you want - I'd say you could go to 15-16k. But I'm guessing the 36k mi claim will send it higher yet - and with all the work done, low mileage really means nothing at this point, it's been totally redone. Personally, I'd stop around $12k if I was looking at a swb truck like this, but am afraid it will continue higher. All up to you - we all want different things about our trucks - but I wouldn't think it's worth more because it's low mileage - it's a full rebuild, so all bets are off. Fair price right now in my book (mid-10's...)
