Storage fees
Look at this truck on ebay, its emaculate.
I tried to figure out how he came up with the price of $ 24,900.00.
Based on a guess at what it cost new, ($6900.) it would work out to be $50.00 a month indoor storage and maintnence for 30 years.($18,000.00).
When you look at it that way it seems a little reasonable

I only paid 5k for mine and it was stored inside

I'd rather do a frame up for less than that and have all the conveniences of a modern day vehicle
just my $.02
it's only worth what you are willing to pay...regardless of how you justify it.

While it is extremely clean, there are some interesting things. If he is as particular about it as he portrays himself to be, why didn't he at least get a matching spare? Good luck with that now. Did Ford offer side dump exhaust back then - I don't remember seeing any? Why does the dash have a crack in it if its rarely seen the light of day? I have a 1980 car that I've owned since new and it's been garaged all but 2 of it's years, but it's dash is still immaculate - just seems odd when everything else looks "new". I'm also in agreement with Grizz - better to sink that kind of money into your own project so you know for sure where it all stands. My penny's worth.

I think somebody has been watching Barret-Jackson Auto auction a little too much. Nice truck, but I too am in agreement with Grizz. Buy a piece and dump $15k into it and have what you want. But if what you want it a low mileage semi-original, then this is kind of it. It would be worth more money if it was totally stock (no light bars or $50 in wagon wheels).

I have a build sheet on my project that just crested the $20k mark this month, and still have maybe $5k left to go. I can only say dam*, it adds up faster than you think. I am not trying to brag it up, I am almost ashamed. My only defense is, this is the nicest truck I have ever really pulled out all my stops for. I am 39 years old and have been working my *** off for the day I could do what I wanted to my ford trucks. It will be a sweet ride but probably not worth it. My next project wants to be a AC Cobra.

When I decided to by another dent side, it didn't take long to learn that you can by a rebuilt truck cheaper then you can rebuild it. And I don't seem to have the time to do it.
I watched the classifieds and ebay for a year and 5 months before I bought mine.It was garage kept and I still had to change all the rubber,fix afew things that needed fixn and a few that didn't.
I bought the truck to throw a deer in or haul hunters or carry material but now I'm afraid to scratch it

What I take away from it.Barring a huge medical expense.What makes a person wake up one day and after 30 years decide to sell.My guess is he's just fishing.He doesn't really want to sell it,but if that price is met.SOLD
