71 Cheyenne Value
I have a question regarding value. I bought a 71 Cheyenne long bed out of Arizona for $7600 (Ebay). The truck was described as "restored" with very little detail other than that. When it arrived, it was not restored. It has been painted a few times. It is fairly straight. They paited over a few minor dents. No rust which is good. Engine was rebuilt. The truck is all there but needs a lot of work. I guess I expected a lot more from a "restored" truck. Here is a list of things I did not expect to see:
- tail gate will not close - steering very loose - paint overspray on trim pieces - electrical tape around the CD player to cover the gaps - CD player hanging very loose in the dash (not properly braced) - truck rattles and squeaks when driving (likely just old cab mounts) - hood too close to cowl on the DS and has knocket paint off - all the trim is there but has been secured with screws from the outside I could go on. I guess in the end I just expected that a lot of these things would be fixed for the money I paid. So here is the question...what is the generally accepted value of a truck needing some work as this one does, but being rust free? I know that there are a lot of folks on this site that have a lot of experience with these trucks so I am just looking for some educated opinions. Any help I can get I really appreciate. |
