As far as this truck or any other collector car goes, the old saying that "it's only worth what someone will pay" is true. It's hard to say why the bidding on the GMC didn't go higher, but that week it didn't attract all the right buyers, I guess. It takes more than one to drive an auction. I'm more out of the loop than you Jon, so I certainly can't give you an answer on what you should pay. If the seller is holding out on you for more money, and you eventually crack and pay enough to buy it, well, there's your answer. Lotsa help, I am. Lol. |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I'm with you Jon (and Bruce). I don't feel the CPI is a good comparison. I also find it funny that someone got offended at a realistic offer from someone who would know, perhaps better than anyone, what trucks like this are worth. Jon's got the receipts, lol. I thought he was awful proud of that turquoise GMC. More power to him, I guess. Not saying someone won't ever pay $50k for it but.... as much as I would love to believe trucks like that are worth $40-$50k I think $20-$25 is much more realistic... and about where it ultimately landed on Ebay. But like you said, it only takes two to make an amazing price happen once. All I know is one of the two won't be me, lol.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I understood your comparison Bruce and completely agree .
As for Barret or Mecum Factorystock , I've watched a lot of survivors not bring anywhere near what this guy wants on the 63. Right now the trend is LS builds for the money at auctions it seems . Sodly , Ill never be talking to that asshat after he replied to me the way he did. I threw out an offer , fully expecting a lower counter offer than his 39K . All I received were insults . Maybe he was having a bad Monday morning , but his comments back to me were unexceptible .

It's not an original truck but the plain jane longbed '65 I restored is a fairly stock restoration. It was bid to $28,900 on Bring A Trailer about a month ago. The owners were thinking about listing it on eBay but after seeing the '63 GMC only reach $20k it's probably not worth the hassle of listing it. Kinda sad that there are so few people willing to pay for stock or well preserved original trucks, everyone wants efi, power steering, and disc brakes or they're not interested.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
.....And here I am looking for another stock 60-66 K20 to daily drive and work/use on a regular basis. Tough finding decent stock trucks now, even in the 73-87 world where I'm usually looking.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I bought this grain truck a couple of years ago from southern Saskatchewan with 34k miles . All original right down to the tires , spark plugs wires , even the T3 head lights .The farmer said I was 3th in line to look at it he was asking $4500 , my chances didn't look good . I phoned back the next morning and offered him $5000, he was happy and I was really happy when he said ok . I put new tires rear wheel cylinders and a muffler on it . Many hours to cut polish and clean it up . I'ts not a pick up but I put more miles on it then my burb . Love it with no regrets i'ts all what the person likes

Nice find! Can't beat those grain trucks, they are truely time capsules once buffed out! Too bad farmers didn't use pickups the same way.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Thanks 60-66 for the comment . It's not hard when you start off with a good project .The truck was used only two weeks per year then sat in a barn the rest of the time , which saved the paint .

Most original?? Repainted, reupholstered, shenanigans under the hood, wrong wheels, CD player in the dash? Hmmm. If this is what passes for "original" these days.... sigh. I guess it's sorta tryin' to be of an original truck, lol.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Right! 3/4 tons were just beginning to get popular for recreational use about this time, most ended up as abused work horses with a low survival rates. This one has the one year only 261 to make it even more of a special find. IMO, somebody got a very good deal in 2019.
