Maybe at Mecums or Barrett Jackson, but i don't think so in the real world.

I mean, it looks well restored but yikes!

Back in 98 everyone thought I was crazy for asking $13,500.00 for my original 1/2 cab with factory ac.

I would say $25 - $30,000.00 at best. I don't mind the 302 but it takes value away to me.

I didn't even notice the mismatched tires in the post. That drives me nuts. As soon as I saw the truck we just bought I noticed that the dealer had replaced the 4 rears but not the fronts. I made sure to negotiate two matching new tires for the front. When I have to buy 6 load E tires I might feel different about it, but that's a problem for future Brandon! lol

had a full off body restore 5 yrs ago

"Restored", a very general term for many. Even the dolled-up pictures looks like amature-budget end work to me. I'm guessing if he really wants to sell it, he'll be taking somewhere around $15,000.

I can't quite tell, but it looks like that frame has a ton of body color overspray on it. If so, that a clear indicator "Bondo-Billy" has been involved, and $15K might be too much.

I'm thinking the frame was painted the same color, which looks terrible.
