value of NON-OP lwb
About 20 minutes from my house there is a LWB, looks to be a 71 Custom sitting in a yard full of trucks. Not a wrecking yard, but simply an industrial yard. According to the two guys responsible for it, it fell off of a wrecker some years ago, which explains why the front drivers fender is bashed in fairly well.
It took a few months to find these guys. Both of them stated that it had a new 350 engine (or an engine rebuild) about 2K miles prior to the damage. BUT...I looked at it close and it appears that the frame is bent as there is a notch in the power steering pulley where the frame was pushed into it. Also, someone has pilfered the radiator and carb off of it. So really the bed, doors, cab, engine, A/C equipment, speakers and assorted things are still fine on it...but it will probably never be driveable and I'd need to have it towed to my house, where I really don't have room or time to dis-assemble it. (yet, where there's a will, there's a way) So they told me how much they'd sell the whole thing to me for and now I am wondering what to do, since I do want parts from it, but not the whole thing. Please advise. |
