Considering selling the Prostreet C-10 but needs some marketing thoughts.
Okay.....first want to start out by saying that I don't want a "don't do it!!!! You'll regret it!!!!" thread. Now that we have liquidated our horse venture, we are more than likely going to move back into town and probably into a neighborhood. I want my 4 year old to be able to play with kids and at the park. We have zero kids on our dead end 1/2 mile road. I'm thinking I'm going to really need to thin the herd. My issue is that I'm torn between my truck and my 67 fastback mustang. I don't want a debate or arguement but the bottom line is my fastback will be worth way more as it sits than my truck. My town is FULL of every kind of Camaro you can imagine but you almost see zero 67 fastbacks.
Sure Barrett Jackson just got over but I'm still realistic as to what my truck is probably worth and also realize that it would take a special person to fall in love with it like I have. The truck flat runs awesome and is super dependable. With that said, I can tell you that it's BARK is WAY MORE than its BITE. It definately has the "shop truck rat rod" kind of theme. Also what I call the "unfinished/prpoject" theme though it's been like this for a few years. It's just a cruiser. Below is it's specs. Very low rust '68 swb 460 BBC with closed 702 oval heads 280H comp FT cam, tunnel ram and dual Holleys Rebuilt '69 Muncie M-22 4 speed and 12 bolt Eaton posi with 3.73s 15x8 and 15x14 corvette ralleys with 29x18.5 sportsman tires. Here is my biggest issue: That M-22 is fresh and probably worth $1,500-$2,000. Problem is I don't think it adds 2K to the value of the truck. My thought would be to either swap the car over to auto or swap for a T-10 or super T-10. It's so hard to find these in good shape that I would love to hang on to it for something else down the road. Heck.....I'd love to put a SBC and the M-22 in the mustang just to piss ferd people off. DO NOT worry about hurting my feelings. I'm curious what you think a SOLID value of the truck is worth and what about swapping the M-22 to auto or Borg? Thanks! UPDATE: Had a good point brought up below. What about taking off the tunnel ram and going back to single carb setup? Wondering how much this would widen my market? Super easy swap and I could get some CASH for that tunnel rame setup. It is cherry. Changing back to a closed hood would open up for more year round driving. I don't think the big back tires narrow the market as much as the motor out da hood.
