Maybe not for everyone but, this slick has some serious cool factor to me.

That's a neat truck to be sure, even if it doesn't come with ice cream! But I think people set unrealistically high ideas of what their truck is worth. And this guy admittedly is just trying to recoup his investment: I have set the reserve at $25,000.00 for the time we put in as well as the work that went into the truck.

Talking about how that seller is dreaming, compare this nice '58 that went for half the price:

Yeah, he is dreaming for sure. Have you guys checked NADA value on your slick lately? Mine books for about 15K in its current condition. State Farm Insurances seems to agree also. I wouldnt take twice that for mine though : ) I have a $36K Chevy Crewcab in the driveway but would rather drive the Slick.

Because the original CHROME horn button is hard to find.
In 1968, early 1969, Ford replaced the original horn button (and the horn ring also) with one coated with a grey argent finish to cut down on glare.
Underneath that grey coating is plain old steel, it's not chrome underneath...you prolly know exactly why know this.
Would you install one a those fugly horn buttons or rings on yours? I think not.
Don't be fooled!!
Ford did NOT change the part numbers (C3TZ-13A805-C-button & C3DZ-13A805-D-ring) when they added that fugly coating!
If you see one listed on an obsolete parts website, it could be an original chrome one, or mebbe not....
ACH... the engine is painted the wrong color!
It's supposed to be black with a blue valve cover.
The aircleaner is the correct one.

I saw that before and thought, "Wow that's a pretty sweet '64." But then I saw Disneyland slathered across the back and wondered, "W T F ???"

Ahhh...I gotta say I love the '58 alot more...and to boot its a big back window...I do agree that that kinda $$$ the guy was asking for the 65 was out of this world...
As for the button, I thought those were being repopped by DC. But I would love to see ANY kind of an ice cream truck nowadays aside from some Joe schmo in a plain car with an magnetic sign on the door and a freezer riding shotgun...
Although I did see a guy on a trike a couple of years ago doing it...complete with the lever operated bell like in the bygone days...
