Where exactly is the vacuum booster hooked up? Good retail value, making the rest of us look good.

Don’t think it was worth that before the accident

Re: pretty nice wrecked 1970 shorty at copart houston..
Maybe the bucket was full of whatever the person who priced it was smoking. It’s definitely empty now.

Re: pretty nice wrecked 1970 shorty at copart houston..
...the good news is that it will be there for quite a while.....probably a couple of years if they hang onto that price.
That will be just enough time for it to start deteriorating down into the $2k territory....and then of course, it will be parted out in short order. Check back in 6-8 months....the motor will be gone, as will the steering wheel. C.

Re: pretty nice wrecked 1970 shorty at copart houston..
And an estimated retail value of $38,900. ?
Ahmm. What IS that vacuum booster hose hooked up to? An electric vacuum pump maybe? Guess that small block has a real snotty cam so it don't make enough vacuum to operate the brake booster.

Re: pretty nice wrecked 1970 shorty at copart houston..
....without an air cleaner protecting that motor from the elements, critters, junk yard dust and dirt...that motor is dropping in value $100/day in my opinion.
That means in about 2-3 months...that is a core for rebuilding in my books.

Re: pretty nice wrecked 1970 shorty at copart houston..
It appears that someone did a "take two and make one" with the bed showing a lap in the floor with carriage bolts connecting the two pieces and the rear crossmember having a suspicious looking line in the near proximity of the lap in the floor. I suppose from the "asking" price this only added character and value.

Even wrecked, it looks proud sitting in a sea of modern plastic. I hope someone brings her back to life.

Re: pretty nice wrecked 1970 shorty at copart houston..
I think that was a $6500 truck BEFORE the accident, not a $16,500 truck after. But I haven't bought a truck in a number of years...

Re: pretty nice wrecked 1970 shorty at copart houston..
I've been watching a few cars on copart lately, mostly classics and while there are deals to be had most of them end up selling for at least a couple grand over what a similar car would sell for on CL. lots of fire damaged classics on there too, about half of them started as engine fires. I carry a fire extinguisher in every vehicle I own
