72 Value

[Gorn]

I had 68 shorty project that I had to drop because I lost my job and had to move to get a new one. She went to a good home but that was 4 years ago.

Today I was walking by a garage and there was a very old man sitting out front. I saw the grill peeking out of the garage so I stopped to talk. Turns out he is getting the house ready to sale. He needs to clear out the garage. The 72 shorty has 37K on it original paint No rust and I looked in the right places, she has been in this garage for 35 year. Seat looks new and I could not find a dent.

It is a base model I6 3 on the tree. He seemed worried the truck would not be safe. I told him I was a former GM master tech and I would go over the whole truck. That seem to help.

I offered him $2500 and I will tow it. He did not say no, he asked if I was serious. He asked for my number. If he counter how high should I go? I guess I should say what would the market bare on a truck like this?

Any VW guys out there he had a 70's bug next to it with 900 miles on it (not a typeO). It has never been in the rain. He bought that for his wife new and she did not like that standard shift.
