Re: How much would you guess these trucks are worth?

What they might sell for is a really tough question as it takes a special buyer to be interested. If you watch some of the barret jackson auctions, the mopar muscle cars, Mustang-Camero-Corvette-big blocks -etc. bring way over $100K. Trucks don't bring anything near that yet their cost to build a show truck is not much different. The demand is MUCH lower from a buyer perspecitve. I would bet either truck cost well over $60K to build but wouldn't bring near that at auction which makes building one a work of love verses good business sense. It is very rare to see a professionally built 67-72truck or blazer - bring anything close to or over $35K so build them as you like but don't expect to get rich in the selling process. Of course there are always exceptions butttttt, I haven't seen many in 25years of messing with these trucks.
