It's too nice '80's resto?
$6k worth it. Even more if it really is "all-original" un-restored

I don't know enough to know if the two tone paint on the bottom is original but if this thing is as rust free as it looks you should buy it before I do. If that's original paint it should bring 7-10 grand. More if you spend a lot of time buffing and tinkering with any issues.

The more I look at the photos I realize that the bottom should be gold from the factory. If it was any other color it would be white not silver, maybe it's primer shot after a rust repair. Still a nice looking truck and a great starting point. You should get some undercarriage photos and as much details as possible before pulling the trigger. Even if it has had a little work done it's in the ballpark on price.

The bottom should be ivory (off white) for a 551 (50th) paint code truck, which this truck is. Its hard to tell if silver or off white in these photos. I agree nice truck.

I'd describe it as one of the more loaded 68's out there. It seems like the later trucks (70-72) typically had more options on average than a 67-68 so this one is definitely loaded considering the year.

Sharp looking ride!

CastIron · 07-23-2013, 10:56 PM

Totally worth it, in my opinion. It's local for me, but unfortunately I don't need another lwb 2wd right now.

Loaded.
