Completely Absurd

I can safely say that this right here is an indication that things have gotten completely out of hand: https://www.streetsideclassics.com/v...d-f-100-ranger

Yikes! Have they got enough different colours on that thing? Can't decide what they were trying to accomplish. I thought it was just primer where they did body work but the tailgate makes it look like it was on purpose.

IMO. there's "good" patina and "bad " patina. And this is an example of bad. But I'm sure someone somewhere will pay more than the listed price. SMH.

I didn't realize that the "bad" patina sold so well. Gosh, mine seems like it could be a $24k truck if I just slapped on some aftermarket junk into the inside! Maybe I even have a $30 truck at Street Side with my 4-color mess! WHOW.

At a car show last summer with my 71' and a guy told me that these trucks were the next big thing. He said "all of the Mustangs and Camaros are drying up, and these are more plentiful with a new following. They'll be the next big thing, just wait and see." I don't think he was wrong...

Well I do see some bumps & dents at shows but no bull nose (80 - 86) other than mine guess I should buy up all I can now as I see I dont have the money for the bumps & dents.

Well it sold so someone stepped up for it, bad patina and all. At these prices my light blue patina truck might get listed soon...

There was a 85' F150 at that same show. Nothing crazy done either, just a good clean factory truck. My kids never see those anymore either so they enjoyed it too.
