Hello,

I own a restoration shop where we are currently restoring a 1965 Ford Econoline pickup. The truck came from California (we are in Vermont) and is 95% rust free. The truck was 100% complete, including the falcon hubcaps and "salesman package" side trim (it is a true salesman packate truck). The paint was in poor shape but the truck is 100% original right down to the factory radio.

The truck is currently stripped down to a rolling body, with 85% of the paint stripped as well. The owner was going to have it painted Poppy red (it was originally white).

Unfortunatley the owner was diagnosed with cancer this summer and has been given two weeks to live. Now his daughter is trying to figure out what the best course of action is to take with this truck she will be inheriting. We generally work on german vehicles, so we are not up to date on the value of this Econoline, either in it's current state or if it was finished.

The man's daughter has two options -

1) finish the truck, and sell it

2) sell the truck and all it's parts.

My question, to assist this woman in making a decision, is what is the value of a freshly restored Econoline pickup, and what would it be worth/how easy would it be to sell it as parts??

Thanks!!
