New truck whats it worth?

[Whiteblur]

Hey guys im new to the board and looking to get a new project. I found a truck im interested in but not sure what its worth......
1965 C10
1 owner
original paint
perfect patina
solid and straight top to bottom front to back
Factory AC


The bad:
interior has been painted black, no big deal to fix
not running Inline 6 has had valve cover off quite awhile so may need new motor
needs trim and lights

Should make a sweet truck, lowered, wheels new trim and buffed
He is asking $4k but it seems pretty high to me

I'd say the same 2500.00 tops

[63 & 64 Bowties]

Just because of the patina and no dents, if there's no rust-through, I'd pay $3,500 easy.
Those perfect patina trucks are getting harder and harder to find.
Just my 2c

[joedoh]

I'll be damned if that truck isnt red white and blue.

[HemiChallenger71]

I dont even see $1500 there myself.

[Monte's62]

I would say you have a little more than patina on the hood. I agree with j. Kirn, $2500 at the very most. You may have to wait a little while, but there are better deals here in the south.

$4,000.00 sound 's like a lot but figure it up . If there is no rust and straight,I always kind of figure in my head what each component would be worth to resell. I have seen rust free cab's that one guy told me he paid 1100.00 for that. Rust free door's 200.00 to 300.00 each ,bed 500 or more . I know it's not a short bed which would bring more, $500.00 for fender's .Tail gate for 300.00 or more plus factory ac which bring's big buck's if complete 800.00 or more .There $3800.00.Still have to figure running gear,so yeah a tough pill to swallow ,but the guy know's what he has.IF it is rust free you won't have to buy any sheet metal. Of course if you can get it cheaper that's in your favor.

Looks like a short box to me. I love it! Wish it was by me.

[TJ's Chevy]

$2500 at most imop.

[1966shortwide]

If it is short bed, more money yet.I still had not figured grill and support and other thing's.

[Micmac]

I'm in with the no more than 2500 crew.

[joedoh]

clearly a shortbed, no center stake holes.

this is a case of the whole being worth more than the parts, kind of backwards, because the only thing better than rust free patina is rust free patina that matches.


if you pass on it because of the price, you will be reminded about the $1500 you might save buying a cheaper truck every time you find a rust free green fender for your red truck with a blue bed

[padresag]

how many more parts that are picked off it that we can't see?

You want to crawl under it and be sure there is no rust out anywhere, and take it from there.You can always start lower and come up on a offer to feel him out.Curious to know what you get it for if you do buy it. Good Luck.

well, the existential answer to that is, all of them.

[DPowers]

Looks pretty straight. What is the condition of the cab floor and rockers?
If I was in the market, had been looking and had the money, would definitely consider it.

[PGSigns]

You have to get it out the grass and take a real good look at it. Look at where the floors meet the kick panels, where the door seals are along the bottom, the bottom of the core support, the bottoms of the doors on the inside, the back side of the rockers and the cab supports, the lip around the insid of the bed where the wood mounts, the inside of the hood behind the parking lights and the front of the cab at the top of the windshield. Once you have a real good look its time to figure out what the body is worth. You have to assume the motor, tires, brakes, AC and the wiring are not any good. With it not being running and driving that is just what it is. Then decide on what its worth to you for what it does have.

Mine was in the same condition when I bought it. I paid $1000 and he let me use the trailer to take it home. I would say $2500 at the most.

[67swb72klb]

like said above if the floors are good you are in good shape lots of potential
of coarse as always cheaper is easier to take

[Mjminino]

Just throwing some numbers at you. I bought new sheet metal for my ENTIRE cab from LMC for 1000$ including shipping. Could be cheaper shopping around.

[CMFT]

If you don't buy it, send his info to me. Love that patina!

[joedoh]

its my opinion that factory sheetmetal is worth 2-3 times that of replacement parts. I sold two rust free fenders and a rust free hood and grille support (basically a front clip but no inners, no hinges) here in town for $550 in about 4 hours of listing it on craigslist, and there was a line of guys behind him ready to pay if he didnt.

I paid $600 for a long bed with no drivetrain and in abhorrent condition compared to that truck, you guys saying $1000 might offer that but there is no way that is the value of the truck. the bed alone is worth $800.
