Re: WIW 72 burb 3/4 ton

In that state of condition, I'd say options from the factory are meaningless.

I mean, you could put all the options you want on it now and no one would care.

IMO options from the factory only play a roll in pricing, if the rig is unmolested, well taken care of, and all original from the factory with a SPID to reference.

If it were me standing there with the owner and is a friend, I'd find out what he hopes to get from it and work from there if he is in a price range worthy of the condition. Then focus on the parts that are valuable, like the drive train, front clip, axle, all three seats, gauge cluster, and then price the boxes of loose parts. Take all those totals, and make an offer for the entire project.

To me, I look at the time it will take to assemble everything to get it to a point I want. (Time is money).

The last Suburban shell I saw get sold just a month ago, went for a hundred bucks. Though it was not a rust free or gone over by a skilled body man.

I have seen projects like this in buddies back yards, and they ended up paying a scrapper to take it all away...

All that being said. From what I see, that project looks expensive no matter how cheap you get it.
