Fair Market Value

Hi, I would like to get some input regarding an asking price for a 1965 F100.
It is a short bed stepside with a 240 six and a three speed column shift. It has 110,000 miles and there is very little rust. This truck was assembled in San Jose and as far as I know it has always been an Oregon (no salt used here) truck. In 2002 she had a rebult engine, a new windshield and a brake job. It has new tires and all maintainance (trans, diff fluids, etc.) is current.

This 1965 has some old time features like: an oil bath air cleaner, manual choke, no PS, no PB, as well as modern stuff like an alternator with diodes, a "solid state" radio and an independent front suspension (1st year for I beams).

The vehicle starts and runs fine. Cons are extensive rot of the original oak bed (plywood covers it), somewhat cranky shift linkage (slow and deliberate works fine) and general old age.

Thanks in advance for any pricing ideas and comments. I know its hard to gage a price without pics. I have them, but don't see how to attach them.

You should see your user name in the box next to Club Ford logo. Click on private messages and you will enter into your user information. From here you can edit your gallery and upload some pictures. There is probably another way to enter your account, but this is how I do it.

The only accurate way of pricing a truck is to get a professional auto appraiser. They are the only ones that can asses the vehicle's condition accurately and figure a market price. You can find them in the telephone book.

CVF100, Welcome to FTE

and the 61-66 forum

Once you get your price figured out, place an ad in the sites classifieds. Make sure your email is on so that someone can mail you any questions that they might have.

since no one else will venture a stab at this, I will (slow day): $850 give or take $100. In this price range, stuff that matters would be condition of tires, exhaust and such. Tires especially.

Well, let's see if I remember the current Ebayauction threads lately. A 72 F100 went for $1.75 (one dollar and seventy five cents!) in Sacramento and the asking price for a later model 70's "restored shelby cobra" truck was around $24,000.00. I would price your truck somewhere in this range.....
