I've had a 1966 F100 for a number of years. It was a driver with the usual issues but no rust. I had to make room in the shop for a new project so I advertised it on Craigslist for $6500. Start high and leave room for negotiating was my reasoning. A couple of days went by and a guy came to look at it. He took it for a drive after I explained that there were issues that needed to be resolved to make it extra nice. he gave me $6000 cash and drove it home. He also gave me his business card which I put in my pocket without really looking at it. Later I checked it out and found that he ran a car resale business.Hhe was mostly into neo-classic autos. I checked out his web-site and found that he had a business associated blog and had written about the truck. Some of the things he said were not very flattering about the tastes of the previous owner (me). Regardless, he did quite a good job of detailing and had some upholstery work done, new tires and wheels along with new door weatherstripping. he put the truck on the Bring-a-T
railer (BAT) online auction site and in a week it sold for - get this- $14,750. I was floored. One of the rather tongue-in-cheek comments that was left after the auction was that Hagerty needs to update their value guide. Bottom line is that a vehicle is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay. Steve
I saw the blog that you had mentioned.
It was written like a 12 year old did it.
I didn't see anything too negative about previous owner though.
And he makes some incorrect references about certain things.
It does looks like he did put a few bucks into it himself and these kind of dealers specialize in obtaining large amounts of money from distant buyers.
Your pictures show the chrome hubcaps, but seller implied that he got the truck with painted alcoas on it.
Again, nice looking truck. Sorry you had to sell it....
Yes it seems slicks have increased in value. I was offered $2000 for my rust-free short box - just the box. I thought it was a rather strange offer. However, what has also changed is that the market has shrunk. Young guys (around here at least) don't want old trucks like we geezers did. It seems they don't want wheels at all, just the latest phone with the app to call Uber.
