Re: 65 gmc $59,000
That's some "restoration."
Didn't know the factory made them like THAT.

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
That truck wasn't built to sit in audio booths or as a daily driver. That still doesn't help the fact that there aren't any tunes for cruising. I guess they just really wanted to hear that big ole' 502. That is one beautiful truck though I still prefer Barbee's.

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
At 590 $100 bills I'd expect to see all Corvette running gear - as a minimum.
 But that's just me. Paying retail for all the work that's in this rig just isn't realistic. Don't get me wrong - it's a sweet ride, but somebody's kidding himself. Mac.

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
the doors could fit a little better. pait lines and chrome trim are off and one cannot determine whether or not the box lines with the cab on the drivers side. not trying to be that picky as the truck looks to be quite nice, though when finished to that degree it is the little things that stick out and they will kill you every tome

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
It is difficult to find fault with this truck, however, that is to be expected on a $59K truck. It is hard for me to fathom investing that kind of money in a truck, even though the results are top-notch.
The shop foreman from a local custom fabricator, told me they charged a customer $61K for a frame-off restoration of a '61 Chevy swb fleetside truck. Based on the equipment installed on the truck, I find it hard to believe that kind of money can be spent on a '61. I can locate and purchase the most pristine, rust-free, dent-free complete sheetmetal for these trucks for less than $4K...that leaves a lot for custom touches, crate motor, tranny, driveline, suspension, paint & body, media stripping, glass, upholstery, etc., etc., etc. Some have more money than time, so I guess they can afford it, but there is not much you would have to do without, if you are writing a check for $59K - $61K for a complete restoration on a '60-'66 Chevy/GMC truck. |

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
Me too - I'd expect to pay that much if this was under the skin:

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
It's a nice truck, but I couldn't see paying that much for it.
It's easy to spend $60k when you pay a shop $50+/hour to restore a car or truck for you. Hours are easy to rack up working on a truck, and most people nowadays don't even bother doing the simple things themselves. |

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
That's a nicely detailed and well executed build, the fly in the ointment is what to pick initially to spend money on. I love these trucks, but they are what they are. If a person spent 60 grand having a shop build up a 55-57 Chevy (for example) could end up with a $100k+ car. $60k building up a 53 Plymouth will end up with the nicest 53 Plymouth worth about $10k. In these difficult financial times, I think most people are being more sensible about true value instead of emotional enthusiasm, or money spent.

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
Amen. I spent $20K ten years ago on a Henry J restoration to end up with a car worth $10K.

Re: 65 gmc $59,000
There is less than $20K in this one, including the initial cost of the truck.
