68 Anniversary....what's it worth?

[SactoJim]

Over a year ago I posted these same pics after finding out that the owner of this was thinking about selling it and would give me first shot.....my head started spinning with various build plans after I got my hands on it. I've talked to him a few times over the year (he's lives close to me), but didn't bug him about selling it. Anyway....he knocked on my door tonight and said he's ready!

The owner, probably in his 70's, got the truck from his father who bought the truck new down in the Palm Springs area.....nice dry vehicle friendly environment. Truck is rust free and appears to have original paint. Has factory air (no compressor). Originally a 307/3 on the tree truck but now has a 350/350 combo that the owner says has some vibration in it that he or his mechanical shop can't sort out (not relevant for my plans but relevant for purchase price).

Just talking, he mentioned he'd love to get $4k for it, but realizes he won't. Kinda gets me in the ballpark for what he may want.....all along I'm thinking around $2k!
