Blue Book Value?

[thumper56]

My project (1956 1/2 ton stepside, updated drive train and brakes) will finally be ready for inspection and tags this autumn.

Living in Vermont, things work a little different...

There are no titles issued for any vehicle over 15 years old, and as I understand it makes no difference what I actually paid for the rusted hulk or the blood, sweat and money that it took to get to the present condition- the sales tax paid at time of registration is based upon "fair value".

I've been trying to locate what "fair value" would be assigned to my truck, but finding nothing so far on Kelly Blue Book sites, Hagerty insurance auto value tool, etc.

Really don't want to get into a professional appraisal. Not opposed to paying a realistic tax. Just before doing battle at the DMV would like to be prepared.

Anyone know where I can find a bluebook price???

Thanks
