SkinnyG's '61 Apache

[SkinnyG]

The truck is still proving itself to be reliable.

I'm still at 9psi, which is proving to be enough to get plenty squirrelly, and I'm sure more would just get me into more trouble faster.

Let's play a game!

A vehicle appraiser did the once over on the '61 Apache today, in my anticipation of getting good insurance coverage for this.

How much do you all figure this is worth?

The whole build is here, you can see what I've done and how it was built. It's not vet57air "CGT" level of awesome, but I'm pretty sure I spent far less than he did building mine. Still. I'ma curious.

Begin!

I'll go ahead and say $54,000, which would be 74,000 Canadian dollars, a lot of money,
but there's a lot of good work and great parts in it.
But I don't have the knowledge to estimate correctly,
I can't even properly assess my truck.

$50k is my bottom number. I know the details & work.... It all comes down to the appraiser in the end.

The appraised value has little to do with what it cost to build and more to do with what similar trucks on the market are selling for. I spoke to an appraiser who was doing mine. He said sometimes people would come out with a binder of invoices on their build but he wasn't interested in it other than to see the quality of parts used, the proof of rebuilt engine, trans, etc.
My appraisal form has different ratings like, Concours Condition, 3 levels of Excellent, 3 levels of Good condition, Fair, Poor, Parts car.

Mine came back at the 3rd level of Excellent. "A well restored vehicle, a combination of superior restored and excellent original components; or an extremely well maintained original showing minimal wear. Chassis and Engine must be clean or partially detailed."
Value: $55,000- $57,000 cdn. (summer 2021)

I will allegedly get the assessment Friday.

I don't think I have a realistic idea of what these are worth.

Any other guesses?
