Ok...I think I have just found the most expensive C10 in the world. Now I am not saying it's not worth $70,000... I thought it was my duty to let you all know there is a super nice truck that can be purchased for $70,000. I am not sure I want to or I think this truck is for people who are living a different lifestyle than I am living. I'm trying to decide if I want to spend $5000 on a GMC 4x4. All I can say is

1LoC10 · 08-12-2007, 09:27 PM

oldsmobilekindofguy · 08-12-2007, 10:07 PM

those people must not want to sell there pickups very well, i guess i would sell my c-10 too if someone offered me 70,000 also,

I paid 500 for mine and it is in better shape than the one on ebay for $3600

Mechdawg · 08-12-2007, 10:09 PM

I dont know if my wife forced me to sell mine Id ask for $70,000 as well...........lol

Hey, Now, you ALL know patina is worth BIG BUCKS!

BurnoutNova · 08-12-2007, 10:39 PM

that one white 4x4 has "rear" locking hubs

jeffspower · 08-12-2007, 10:43 PM

"brand new big 350 V8". Is that something special? Where can I get one?

1LoC10 · 08-12-2007, 10:46 PM

there is a difference between surface patina and patina to the bone

red69ss · 08-12-2007, 10:56 PM

There was one on ebay a few months back that had a $225,000 buy it now price, the bid was at $145,000 and reserve was not met very nice truck but still crazy.Had it saved see if I can find it.

dave2953 · 08-12-2007, 11:00 PM

It's a really beautiful truck, but not 70K nice IMO. Normally you won't get out of them what you put into them.

**LEEVON** · 08-12-2007, 11:17 PM

Looks like they fat-fingered an extra "0" in there....

I looked at a solid '72 4x4 lwb behind a guy's shop a couple months ago and told him to have the owner call me. This guy calls and says his truck does not run, but he saw mine and it was the nicest one he'd ever seen. So I asked how much for his truck and he said "Ohhh, no less than $17,000". I said "hmmm...I could get two of mine for that!"

What are these guys thinking?

WOW!!! I'M ASKING $30 FOR MINE AND I THOUGHT I WAS TOO MUCH

HE'LL BE LUCKY TO GET $25K

72highlander · 08-12-2007, 11:38 PM

it is negotiable though!!

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 08-13-2007, 01:02 AM

I'd take the 64' for $22,500 first. This does not have the value and is more then likely a ringer set in there to make the others look like great deals by comparison. I personaly wouldn't deal with a person or company like this.

esll.

**Palf70Step** · 08-13-2007, 06:43 AM

The 70's must not have been good to those folks.

lol palf yeah i agree or maybe it was the 60s and they are still super super high... i will say that is one nice truck.

but 70 grand ? even with labor i dont think its possible to put that kinda money in one of our trucks . ill assume some things buying a truck 1,000 to 2,500 all new body work and sheet metal 10,000 one bad ass engine tranny 10,000. paint 5,000 interior 2,500 random things 2,500............yeah i think they got about 40 grand to much in the old gal.........

man when i can retire in the year 2049 ,im gonna be loaded

hgs_notes · 08-13-2007, 08:56 AM

BIG 350...$20,000
Power window upgrade and newer style seats...$5,000
Nice paint and body work...$45,000

Bragging rights over having the highest price C-10 listed...priceless

Musclerodz · 08-13-2007, 10:53 AM

The six figure truck was built by Fesler that was on ebay. It is light years ahead on the one shown here for 70K. Tryo Trepanier built a LWB for a guy a few years back for a customer to be used as a hauler and I would bet it was over six figures as well. Value is only what someone is willing to pay for it. If he can get that, more power to him. But.....I would dump $70K in a 69 Camaro long before I put it into a 67-72 truck

jkaylor68gmc · 08-13-2007, 11:25 AM

yeah, that is about a 40,000 ride. Especially if it was home built, like MuscleRodz said, the other two that were built were in fact six-figure trucks. I can fully understand 30-40,000 but 70,000 will build you a real nice pro-touring car and maybe a tow-rig.

ChevLoRay · 08-13-2007, 11:48 AM

Look at the $23.5K truck from Fort Worth, for comparison. Heck the $70K truck only has 3 pix. What's up with that? If you are asking that kind of money, why not show folks some pix?

My Willys has rear locking hubs (Warn full-floater cobversion kit in the D44). And it's for sale for only $5000

Herb

BTW - for $70K, you think they could find some paint for the master cylinder and proportioning valve....
