opinions--69 78,000 mi. worth 10,500 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jaros44sr** · 08-26-2012, 05:30 PM

Out riding my bike today, and came across an original 69 stepside, wood bed. 6 cylinder, 3 speed manual, NO rust, except under battery, more on the wheel well, than core support. Needs repaint, original paint is cracked, and differant shades of dark green have been added over the years

Unmolested, little old lady just got to old to drive the manual trans., and just kept it in the garage

10,500 firm

....this thing has got to be worth 15,000.00, in my opinion
Interior is perfect, except tape on the lower portion of the drivers side, back rest is original vinyl.

What do you all think?

From your description 10.5 sounds too steep.. Just my opinion..

An pics? Must lok pretty incredible, based on your assessment and the price - but off the top of my head, I'm with j ripper - 10.5 seems way too much for a 69 stepper with a I6/3ott and paint conditon. Without looking, I'd say $4K tops, but am sure the pics will help increase that number.

Do a quick check on similar items on fleabay. You should be able to one hell of a good loaded driver for that. Maybe even an older restoration.

Ok, but im surprised, thought the price was good...you guys know our trucks better than i.

Dont think the guy will come down, but ill try. He tried to sell it a couple years ago, but couldnt get his price

Glad to have the voice of reason, this board is the best

**fine69** · 08-26-2012, 07:59 PM

6 cyl, 3 on tree worth 10.5? Probably not.

Pics here would help you get a better idea of its true value.

rico7769 · 08-26-2012, 09:04 PM

sounds like the owner's holding on to sentimentality and not true value. 10,500 could buy you a great resto project that's mostly done or a top notch daily driver where I'm from.

70monte · 08-26-2012, 09:13 PM

No way, not to me.

**70cst** · 08-26-2012, 09:21 PM

I just had to say it

**Already Gone** · 08-26-2012, 09:31 PM

With a little research and patience, you should be able to get a lot more truck than whay you've described for 10,500. I would bet if the seller keeps holding out for that price the truck will be in his Estate.
