That's a really nice specimen... but dude is asking more for it now than it cost him when he bought it 23 years ago. And I've had two of those trucks, second one with the 5.0 V8 and it was horribly under-powered. But, it is a nice looking truck though.

Way more than I would pay for it. Might be one of those deals where the wife says it has to go & he agreed to try and sell it.

 

Haha yep it could be. Maybe it would cost him less to get rid of her instead.

 

Seen a few of those. I'm guessing they look at NEW truck prices and figure someone will give them 1/2 of that for something like this?

 

It is a Nice clean truck, but there is NO WAY I would spend that kind of money on a 1/2 reg cab gas truck.

And how did an eddie bauer truck not get a tach?

 

Agreed on pricing.

My aunt bought a 95' EB new, with no tachometer, I always thought it was odd. It was a SCSB 5.0L 2x4 4R70W.

 

Not a single under hood, under body shot.

 

Same here with a '95, Eddie Bauer, Extended cab, 4wd. No tach.

Went and grabbed an instrument cluster from the junkyard and swapped it in.

 

He did say OBO. So I'm guessing he would or will end up selling for about 20K which is still steeeeeep.

 

Gtfoh. It's not old enough, nor sought after enough to even fetch that price. AC will probably take a crap the second you need it. Cooling system. Internals. Seals. God knows what kind of gas varnish build-up.

Dude is in for a rude awakening.

 

Price is way too high but as far as a/c and seals,I have a obs with less miles and zero problems with any systems on truck. If stored and cared for these trucks are a joy to own and drive.I would think 10k would be the top $ for that truck if someone just had to have it imho. Personally I would add 5k and go diesel shopping!

 

Nice truck. Worth the asking price? IDK? Won't be buying it myself, so that may mean something.

In general, I don't think the selling price can be determined without an upfront inspection and a willing buyer. Remember it only takes 1 buyer! The truck is 22 years old and Ford is not making any more. Does that make it sought after? Possibly. Go find another one. Single cab, short box and gas? To some buyers, this would be ideal.

The money and the numbers are interesting. Priced higher than the original sticker? No crime in asking that and consider that a Model T Ford cost under $500 when new. Find one in any sort of shape today and you will likely be 10X the money or more. The real thing here is that the truck in question had a sticker price in 1995 dollars. A comparable 2017 has a sticker price double that in 2017 dollars. It is called inflation and it has been a part of our economy forever. In real purchasing power, the prices are about the same when adjusted for inflation. That makes the asking price of the 1995 truck half of new in 2017 dollars. Sounds much less unreasonable that way.

Sure, the older truck has been used and has 40,000 K on the clock. If Ford still built this truck today and it is a shame that they do not, they would sell well priced at $24K. Maybe even at $50K? Can you buy a current model truck with 40K on the clock for half of original sticker price? Maybe. I don't think the asking price is so unreasonable when all is taken into consideration. For that money, I could not restore a similar truck to that condition.

 

Actually, I believe that for any generation of F-Series that's old enough to be collectible, the versions that command the highest prices are all gas shortbed regular cab F-100s, even in spite of the fact that the bigger work trucks of the same vintage were originally pricier.

So, as OBS start to be viewed as old-therefore-collectible, this one is probably going to be pretty close to the top of the ladder in terms of value/desirability.

 

It's the front license plate bracket that makes it worth so much, and the tennis ball on the trailer hitch on the bumper. lol.

You dont have to tell me about OBS collectability I have sold quite a few over the 20k mark. But none were 1/2 ton reg cab gassers
