1972 GMC Auction
What should this truck bring at auction.
It is selling on 11-2-13. Looks not, but I am unsure of the value. Opinions please. http://www.gertonautosales.com/vehic...?vid=198063926 |

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
You asked for unbiased just 'from what I can see in the pics' opinion. I'm thinking about $12,000 - $14,000 range. IMO the red wheels hurt it. If they were the factory argent silver color the truck would appeal to more buyers. If it were mine they'd be painted back silver, first thing. .. Just me.

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
The wheels would be changed ASAP. Also, would probably be loosing the wood bed rails.
I have not seen this in person yet, just in the pics. |

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
I agree the red wheels don't work for this truck. Go back with the silver and add trim rings and it would attrack many more buyers. I think it my be worth $15k. With some of the stuff I have seen at auctions and depending on who shows up as a buyer...it could go for much more...but that would be over my limit...

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
I looked at the photos and made my decision before reading any other posts on here. I think it's worth around $15,000.

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
The red rims are so ugly I did not even notice they were ralleys.
Then again, I am a "stock" kind of guy. |

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
Hell I like it...red wheels and all.
 If there are two or more bidders it could go above $15k....

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
What it should bring is whatever it has been appraised at for insurance. What it will bring is whatever the last winning bid is. There's way too many variables involved to get a ballpark number. That is a resto mod and if I had 20k that's what I would bid. The same truck chopped and tubbed with a blower and they'd have to pay me to take it, while I'm sure someone would pay 30k or more.

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
I like the red wheels...it looks to be a nicely done truck.
One thing I would do for sure, go look at it in person before you bid a penny...then decide what its worth to you.

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
It appears to be done right and nicely. I imagine they're auctioning it because they've realized it's not selling at their optimistic price. It's always hard to say how an auction will go,so I'm not even going to try. If the question was "How high should I go?",then I could offer something.
Anyone who wouldn't be interested in this nice truck based on the color of the wheels probably shouldn't own any old vehicle. If painting 4 wheels is that discouraging I can't imagine how they'd deal with anything else the truck may require.

They couldn't take 20 minutes to remove the sway bar before the gold rattle can came out?

Re: 1972 GMC Auction
Well the final bid was $23,500. The reserve was not met.
I was thinking it should go $18-$20 |
