Buying and Selling a 1969 Chevy
I have the opportunity to pick up a 1969 Chevy 2x4 Custom 10 LWB, no options with a dead 350 and a 3 speed. The truck is totally rusted with an above average interior, decent wheels and tires and a NEW GM part(w/chevy lettering) 1969 Grille and Bezels (perfect, not in the box). I can pick the rig up for $1000, and strip it of the parts I want (the wheels/tires, Grille, Dash pad, visors, door panels and what not) and then I would try to sell it. I am wondering, is this a good idea? Will I be able to sell a non running rusted 2x4? (The only good sheet metal is the hood (really) and the windows are good, the chrome parts are good). I would like to buy this truck for parts, strip what I want, and then sell it. I live in Alaska. Also, any ideas on what the Grille's worth or the parts I am going to get?
Any Ideas would be helpful. Thanks --Smoke and Fire The parts are for a 1970 GMC 1/2 ton lwb

Best bet......Forget it............
If its rusted out real bad, chances are you'll only part it out for arount $500.......

$1000 sounds way to high to me.
From what you describe, I would say no more than $150.00. EdB |

Sounds like way too much money to me.....but maybe they are harder to find up north. I recently bought a 72 C-10 that started as soon as I put a battery in it. It's a 307/4spd. It is as rusty as the one you described, the interior isn't too bad. I gave $300 for it........oh yeah, it's got all 4 hubcaps and almost new tires on the front and 50% tires on back and new brakes and shocks all the way around. along with new rear coils.

I couldn't hardly give one away recently...plus if you're taking the "good" parts, nobody will want it.

Maybe offer the owner what you think the good parts are worth; I don't know, maybe $300? The worst he could do is say no. Or just keep looking, I'm sure if you're patient and keep looking something else will come along. Just my .02 worth.

The grill alone is worth $200-$300ish new.
