I think that's rather high price wise. Mine was $400 and I got 2 other non running (1 complete just been sitting for years) trucks.
Then I purchased another 65 complete for $800. Took what I needed, sold the rest for a total of $1050 and change.
So buying it for parts isn't all bad if the rest of the truck can be parted or scraped out.

Both of the hoods I have need dent repair 
One of them should be a cake walk though (no bondo just pound it out from underneath) 
Of course it's been a few months since I've actually looked at my hoods so when it stops raining and I don't have to swim to the shed I'll check them out again.

I gladly gave $950 for my 65 F100 Overdrive short box a couple of years ago. It took a lot of cleaning and tinkering. It still has the common foreward bed cancer and other small rust issues but I went out looking for a truck. Something to preserve, maintain, and use. I liked the charm and simplicity of the old models. I got one heck of a dependable workhorse that still cleans up pretty nice. Cheap parts, easy to work on. Who could ask for more, for less then a grand?
Sorry for being so long but the quote just kind of made me feel like a garage kept, low mileage, cream puff would only bring $1850.....Not lately, maybe 1986

Two years ago when I was looking for parts for my truck after the accident I ran across a guy who wanted $1,000.00 for a truck he said was cherry. It was a short bed with a 352 granny tranny non custom cab and had been a ranch truck it's entire life. The bed looked like it had about 1000 loads of gravel dumped into it and was beat badly. The engine had lost oil pressure and had locked up so he couldn't start it needed some major body work but yet he refused to lower his price.
So hey $1,200 doesn't sound that bad .

wow! i should go to the states to get my next truck! here in alberta its tough to find a non-running mid-60s ford for under $1500.
My last was a 66 for $500, from a great uncle, with a rebult 240, and it was flipped upside down about 20 years back and the only main problem is the roof panel is screwed up. aside from a little body rust and the drivers door wont close tightly it was a pretty good deal, im driving that until i can get another 66 or so restored
