Restomod value
Considering selling my truck, I really enjoy the building process but thats mostly done and it might be time for a more family friendly crew cab truck. Anyone have any idea what a modified 2wd f100 goes for I know its not everyone cup o tea but some like it. Its 100 percent drivable and functional 1973 f100 2wd lwb 4.6 Eaton supercharged 2 valve, all the upgrades to support 400 rwhp and professionally tuned, 4r75e trans aluminum driveshaft. Crownvic suspension swap up front and 2018 mustang irs in the rear interior new other then dash pad. Has some whiskey dent and alot od scratches but no rust.

What is a "whiskey dent"?
Somewhere out there .... there is the right *** that fits that seat .... you just need to find it, then the value goes up. Lots of guys will "ooooh and aaaah", but then walk away at the thought of maintaining it.

That thing looks like fun...
The market is so crazy right now it's hard to put a value on anything like this. I'm always looking at this type of stuff online and the range is so wide I've seen vehicles from under $10K to over $50K. If all the fab work is done well, it'd only be a $10-15K truck to me, but I bet you could get $20-25K if you made sure it was cleaned and detailed, took some quality pictures and marketed it in the right areas of the country. If you did the body work and put shiny paint on it I'd probably say it'd put you around right around the $30K mark..so it might be worth doing..
I've thought about selling a couple of my projects now, then sitting on the cash and waiting for the market to crash, then picking up something nice for cheap.

I'd say that it's a very desirable truck based upon the mechanicals. As for the appearance the words "sleeper" and "patina" should be emphasized. The customer that you are looking for doesn't want to do what has to be done to build such a vehicle but he or she wants to be credited with having something that few others have. The "sleeper" angle will appeal to those who relish surprising their peers at the stop light or in an empty parking lot. Find out where people like that hang out in your neck of the woods and take your truck there with an easily readable "For Sale" sign in the back window. That's for the real world but don't neglect the digital world because it has so many more potential customers. Patience is its own reward as they say. Good luck.
