This popped up on the local FaceSpace Marketbook. 1970, 4x4, 390/4-speed. $2,500. Paint and body look decent and it might shine up nicely with mild patina . Engine needs a bath and some new seals, interior needs carpet, seat upholstery and door panels. Someone also hogged out the radio opening to accept a DIN stereo, so I’d have to address that. I’d also swap on a set of steelies with more appropriately-sized tires and stock full wheelcovers, and replace the big honkin’ winch bumper with a factory-style bumper.
The only way I could justify it is if I could make a bit of money on it... I’ve flipped plenty of cars in the past, but they were all late-model cars that just needed a mechanical component replaced and a good detail. I’d love to restore it and put it in my giant warehouse of cars I love, but I need to be more practical with y car obsession... Could I buy this for $2,500, stick in another $2,500 and sell it for $5,000? $7,000? More? Less? It’d definitely be a fun project and if I could profit, my wife would welcome more fun projects!

This is exactly what got me looking.

I figured, but posted just in case.
If that thing is reasonably solid and you can get it running right for another $2500, it’s hard for me to see how you don’t make a few $.

Those babies - in good shape - are selling for $15-25k (well, asking, not sure what final sales numbers are). If all you want it flip, why invest money into bumpers and wheels when the existing ones are perfectly servicable?

You could easily triple your money in Michigan.
Do it.
Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

Those trees look out of my climate zone, or I’ll be buying it ;P
Very nice, is it manual?

The truck even has a double gun rack. That truck would make an awesome truck to keep. It’s priced as fun money.
The prices for those old trucks are getting pretty steep for sure.

I’d have never made this post. You should already have it.

This one appears to be a driver, whereas that one’s been sitting since 1980. As cool as it is and as much as I’d love to have a warehouse full of cars, this one makes more sense!

Buy it, leave it exactly how it is, trade it to me for the trucks I have in various states of disassembly .
