Thread: how much would you pay

Tweet

HI,
I have gotten myself in some financial issues and am going to have to sell my truck that I got built for me when i was 15. I am just wondering if anyone could tell me a ball park figure on what to expect to get for it.

Its a 63 chevy c10 long bed with a straight body but has 10 yr old paint on it. The paint job is from "miracle" which is a cheap little outfit out here. The hood needs a lot of work and is a different color from the truck and thats the worst part.
As for the interior, It has two bucket seats with two 5 point harnesses and new carpet. It has all autometer gauges and no radio, ac, heat, and one of the door handles is stripped.

The drive train is a th400 with a 2800-3200 b&m stall with a brand new set of 3.73's in the stock rearend with a limited slip posi. The wheels are some ugly things with mickey thompsons street slicks in the back and just some regular tires in front.
Now for the best part, Then engine. Its a 454 with about 500 miles on it thats about 3 years old. Its rated at about 500 hp. It has stock crankshaft and stock rods, but has srp pistons, edelbrock aluminum perfromer rpm polished heads, Isky 292 cam, isky valve train, super victor intake, and 750 hp holley carb.

The rims and hood are the biggest disapointments or flaws on the truck. Would it be cost effective to replace those two things even though I dont have the money or even replacing those will I not even get the money back with replacing those two?

I have put about 15K in this truck including the purchase of the truck so of course Im going to be expecting more than what anyone will pay for it, but Im thinking arount $9K. what do you guys think?

thanx
