How much to sell your truck - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wwotr · 07-03-2011, 08:33 PM

I could do the Obligitory $50K, but at this point in my Lefe, I don't think I would sell it.
Even though I've only had this Truck for 2 1/2 years, everything that I've had done to it, didn't come easy. Sacrafices had to be made, and Toys" sold to continue the effort.
I know what this Trucks been through, and whats been done to it.

When I had my 67 C-10, everything came TOO easy.
I'd take it into the Shop and say "Do It", and come back 3 weeks later with a GM Crate Engine, Custom Built Tranny, Electric cooling fans ect.

I didn't have my "Hands In The Pie", and watch it go through its stages, like I have with THIS Incarnation of "RATIKLE", and because its come harder,
I feel a lot more for it, and havent even BEGUN to enjoy it to its fullest potential.

"My Truck.....I think I'll Keep Her".

darush01 · 08-31-2012, 05:32 PM

My '69 I might let go for about $5k. On the other hand I think my wife would let it go for free

Oh...sorry then, cause I was gonna offer you $4500.00 CASH for your 69.

prostreetC-10 · 07-03-2011, 09:34 PM

I'd take $1,500 because it's really bad on gas and I'm concerned about its environmental footprint! It also has a blind spot from the driver's seat to the right front fender that I deem unsafe.... not to mention the paint is really faded and the laminate is coming apart on the front windshield.

Hubscrub · 07-03-2011, 09:48 PM

well considering that i have NEVER sold any car/truck i have owned i guess there is no price.

well i have some out at my mom/dads house, and some here

i have never gave over 7,000 for a vehicle that one being my dd 97 chevy 1500. so you could add all mine up and not pay for some of these rigs that people buy new i don't like being in dept

if it's over $10,000 i better can live in it.

I have been saving all my change since this post.. i have 1387.63 will that work?

68chevyLQ4 · 07-03-2011, 09:52 PM

I guess 8,000 would make me think hard!

ETsC10 · 07-03-2011, 10:12 PM

I would think $25,000 would get them to not ask anymore.
Even $5,000

I've probably spent 8K over the years but she started as a
partial truck from an auction. Running gear's nearly done
(after 14 years) and the bodies next.

She's my DD and my best buddy. Priceless.

Old Yeller 1970 · 07-03-2011, 10:52 PM

Old Yeller isn't for sale at any price. PERIOD. I have too many memories tied up in him and no amount of money can replace that.

Brock · 07-03-2011, 10:55 PM

Well according to the DMV, when I thought I'd go ahead and get it licensed last year, the truck is "worth" $14,000 and the fees were going to be ~$800. I immediately offered to sell it to anyone for the fractional price of $5000. Needless to say I didn't get it licensed and nobody took me up on what I thought was a generous offer for a "$14,000" truck.

I paid $242 for the truck and wouldn't take less than $5000 for it as she sits.

Bob 68327 · 07-03-2011, 11:05 PM

3000 is the price with out the wheels and with a stock 307.....

chevyman95 · 07-03-2011, 11:22 PM

I have only had mine for a few months so not nearly as attached as some of you guys. I had a guy ask me the other day though and I said $5k (1970 c10 swb with mildly built 454) Of course that was when I was walking back to it with a can of gas (gas gauge doesn't work and I didn't add right)

hatred · 07-04-2011, 12:39 AM

I know it's not a truck but someone asked to see my other "toy" so here it is...

05 GTO 6 speed..... The truck hauls, and the GTO hauls!!

LONGHAIR · 07-04-2011, 06:55 AM

While I realize that this was not the intent of the original poster....This has the potential of becoming a "For Sale" ad for those who are not allowed to do that here. Please be aware of your responses.

prostreetC-10 · 07-04-2011, 09:59 AM

That's pretty funny.....when I first saw the thread I was thinking "what a great way to find someone that is willing to sell their truck way less than what it's worth". Of course that is not the intent agreed.

flashed · 07-04-2011, 11:53 AM

Mine isnt for sale at any price .

Classic69 · 07-04-2011, 11:55 AM

Well ive had my truck 12+ yrs, and ive put 1000's of hours of my own blood and sweat and time into it, restoring it from the rust bucket it used to be when I bought it for $550. Now I dont think id take anything less than what its appraised at, which is $30K, and even then I may not sell it!

67ChevyRedneck · 07-04-2011, 12:08 PM

I've owned mine since 1996. That's a whopping 15 years. It was my first vehicle. I drove it to High School. I tore up my hometown roads with it. I learned how to "work on cars" with it. My dad helped me keep it running. I even drove it to College my senior year. My wife told me that before she ever even met me that some asshole in an old black truck with a Clemson flag on the whipper cut her off, little did she know that it was meant to be!

It was part of my wedding. It's part of my life. How much would you sell your best friend for?
