Taking Bets?
Even though I know this is the '87-'96 forum, take a look at this beauty. IIRC, it was for sale a year or so ago for 27k and the seller refused to take that. Any bets on how high this will go and the seller won't sell? I'm guessing around 20-22k with no sale. Its a beautiful truck to be sure, but quite honestly, Id be afraid to drive it!

guy is a tool... buyers money, buyers choice if he wants to enter it in a demo derby....
Just read his disclaimer at the bottom....
Please note. When I say this truck is for sale to collectors... I mean just that. It was not saved all its life for you to use up. It will only be sold to someone that has been in the collector hobby for a while, has similar types of vehicles and the ability to preserve and carry this truck for many years as it stands. This is not a driver, it will never be a driver. it is not a tow truck, ranch truck, farm truck. Please understand that this is a #1 show level truck build by Ford themselves..... It has the predegree to be the finest of its type and will only be relinquished to someone qualifed... reguardless of price!

I understand he wants to see the truck go to a good home, and don't get me wrong, words can not describe how gorgeous that marvel is, but at the same time..it is just a truck...yes it has factory new...EVERYTHING! but that doesn't change the fact that it is a truck. If he wants to see it go to a "collector" go to an auction and not ebay...

I agree. eBay is not the place to list something if you want a true collector to buy it. There are lots of collector car auctioneers out there that can attract the kind of buyers he's looking for and perhaps get the reserve he's looking to get.

Well, if I remember the last time, his reserve was 30k....as nice a truck as it is, it ain't worth 30k especially nowadays. Like I said, I'd be afraid to drive it or God forbid-haul or tow anything with it. There are Mustang guys like this (don't flame me, I also have a '67 convertible) on another message board I'm on that, when they finally put the last dollar into restoration, say 50-60k, they won't even START the car for fear of burning the paint off the exhaust manifolds. I'm sorry-that's just wrong. A car, truck boat-whatever-is built to use drive & enjoy. I'm not one for bragging rights. I want to enjoy it. That said, I'd almost wish that this was an impeccably restored 200k mile truck. I'd be more likely to drive & enjoy it. Just my .02

Idk, I can see 15. Your not gonna restore a truck to that condition for 12. Trust me, I'm trying with my 94 f250 460 and doing a lot of the body work myself and am calling in favors from everywhere and I'm still gonna drop 10k at least. And I' know that if I sold it when its done, 7-8k is the most I could sell it for. (Not happening. Ever.)
As far as what happens when its bought, hell yeah he should want someone who's gonna show it and baby it, but he can't honestly expect it. I know if I bought it, I'd drive it and deal with the fact that its gonna age. Trucks will do that.
I guess all it is is he's not an *** for wanting it, but he's naive if he expects to get what he's asking, money or future-wise.

My 0.02 USD worth . . .
Why do I feel like my chain is being yanked?
If it is what it's claimed to be, it needs to roll across the block at Barrett-Jackson.
Admitted, it looks nice. Too nice. Smells fishy. And that disclaimer . . . he just narrowed his buyers to a handful. Ones that would more likely buy a 7 Litre Galaxie first.
Just sayin' . . .
