How much would you spend

[Lalla666]

Hey guys my names Paul I have a chance to buy a 1970 chevy c10 longhorn 4 speed 350 v8 from a buddy of mine it's been just sitting in the corner of his yard he wants 1500 for it ,he has the window sticker from when then previous owner purchase it in the 70s for $4100 there's no rot on the truck beside the wood floor of the bed it starts if you put gas down the carb but the gas in the tank is old and smells bad.the dash says 86k for miles . It's goin to need to be clean and gone though.My question is 1500 dollars to much for this truck and what would you pay ? I think 1500 isn't to bad for a truck that has 0 rot compare to on craigslist in Connecticut you can't find one under 2k and it has rot

That's a good deal if buy of for 1500! All day long

[Lee H]

[Sicklajoie]

I think they may be a C/30 or C/20, not a C/10. Buy it!

[Lalla666]

Thanks guys I'm Defenitly goin to buy it the good think is I know it's not goin any ware all my other buddies are saying it's not worth it I think it is ,I made a parts list just to see a estimate to get her back on the road and I was lookin and about 650 not including wheels or tires

Agreed big time!

[Lalla666]

I think I'm gonna go to the bank in the am and try to get a little loan in the am lol

[swamp rat]

I'd try and wiggle him down to $1300, offer $1000 because its not running and you don't know what all its going to take to get it up and running, but if its no dice and he won't budge i'd still feel ok at $1500.

[FRANKENSTEINC10]

I agree with swamp rat. you never know what someones real # is and the worst he can say is no. go for it

Those wheels are deadly! You can get some 16" Ford wheels with nubs that will let you use your hub caps.

[Lalla666]

Yeah i hear those wheels are death traps lol my plan is to go to my buddy house and offer him 1200 but his dad his stubborn and would reather it sit there and rot instead of lowering the price he's also got 1970 429 scj ford Torino and a trans am just rotting away because he wants a outrages amout for them

[67ChevyRedneck]

If that's the case, it's worth the $1,500 and then some, especially in your area. How did it survive so well... and a work truck at that?

[Lalla666]

i dont know how it survie this long it was a roofers truck who past away and the wife gave it to my buddys father we had it stated but the gas in tank is shot smells so bad the inside is all orginal the seat is ripped but the only thing i dont is the bed floor cause it is loaded with roofing stuff

[Tinkermc]

I hope I get it the good thing is I know it's not going anywhere

I am a haggling fool but on that truck I would have given him a deposit until I could have gotten the money together, and had a big smile on my face. No rust and I am all over it.
