Original Price
Here's a question for some of you guys with more...life experience.
![]() I'm kind of curious to know what some of the original selling prices were on these trucks. Specifically my '77 C30. Anybody remember back that far? Or maybe somebody has a link with that info, or a pricing sheet or something. |

Re: Original Price
My Mom and Dad bought this 1978 Chevy Sport brand new from Don Maxwell Chevrolet in Newark, Ohio. I was 13 and vividly remember my Dad haggling it for $6000.00 out the door. Oh my, I had a lot of fun in that truck!!!!!!

Re: Original Price
That 8000 was in Canadian dollars, and the truck was pretty much loaded

Re: Original Price
My 1977 Chevy Sport was a leftover. I paid around $5600 in Massachusetts, February 1978. It had a 350 4bbl, at, p/s, p/b, power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, am/fm radio, sliding rear window, step bumper, guages, dual gas tanks, and a Scottsdale interior with the Sport package.
I found a sales receipt in the owner's manual of my recent purchase. The first owner paid $6000.56 in Richmond, California, March 1977. |

Re: Original Price
I know its a Ford, but Chevy was very competitive on price, and its a great visual. So a plain 6 cyl 3 spd C10 was about $4000, a C30 would be about $5000 my guess.
