Price guide

[Wrenchbender Ret]

I noticed in the latest Old Car Price Guide that the value of 67-68 trucks are MUCH higher then the others in that era. Even the 69-70 are more then the 71-72. Is the Guide way out of line or is that the way the value trend is going. I personally like the 71-72 models.

Price guides mean squat. It's worth what the buyer is willing to pay.

It is probably based on production numbers

Nada kbb or any other price guides don't mean much for example a truck in az may bring double in ny. With that being said 69 and 70 usually the least popular of the 67-72.

I've never put a lot of faith in the price guides either, and watch more out of curiosity. I did see last week that hagerty put these trucks in their top 25 vehicles for positive trends in sales

I do not mean to argue, nor disagree with you. Just wondering why you say 69 and 70 least popular? Is it because 67 and 68 are slant nose, and 71-72 have disc brakes up front-- so 69-70 are left somewhere in between? I like that my 69 GMC has a real 396. I just like being able to say I have a 396. It seems cooler than saying 400 (which is confusing since BB and SB 400s were made) or 402 (which came after 69). Personally there are things I find I like about them all-- and I have owned them all. I like the springs in the 69-70 seats better. They sit up stiffer than the cushy full-foam of my 72. And is that all there is to it-- personal taste? If so, then that is fine with me-- sort of like colors I would guess. My favorite color may not be your cup of tea. I like hearing what others have to say about this sort of thing.

Gmc may be different but for chevy the 67-68 are the most desireable then 70-72 a lot even swap the grille from 69-70 to 71-72 style personally I like my 70 Sebastian and my 70 k5 but look through polls even on this forum 71-72 are more popular than 69-70
