So manual transmissions lower the sale price? Not that I plan on selling or will change my current build to use an auto, but how many things ever go to plan?

 

Frank, I see this all the time.

It seems that you guys are looking at the asking prices of trucks and using that as the basis of value of your truck.

Vintage Ford trucks as well as many other vehicles do not sell for what the owners put in them. I just bought a mint condition 64 F100, 292/AT, short bed flareside, mint condition, needs nothing, 1 owner, 49,000 miles. I paid 13k.

It would have cost me 20k + to build this truck.

 

Thanks for all the discussion guys. My dad has decided to list it on craigslist in the Seattle area for 5k. Here is a link:
1951 Ford - F1

Greatly appreciate you ideas!

Frank

 

Man.... If I were that close, I would put a little more work into that truck, and enjoy driving it!!!

 

Road Trip!!!! You need a vacation up in the Seattle area anyway.
