If you are talking about bone stock trucks, I agree completely. However a really nice truck with good modifications (read non-stupid) is worth well over $20K. Remember Dave, although 712s aren't near as rare in the US as your truck, they are still pretty rare.David Dunn wrote:
Where I will get the ire of the 712 owners when I say that I don't think they're worth the fetching prices of over $20k.... people are willing to pay that, so that is what they're "worth".
Not sure I'd say that 710 prices have "tanked", they are still in the same rough range.pinzwheeling wrote: 712 prices of late have jumped considerably; ironically, 710 prices have tanked.
maybe that's not what you're seeing on the East Coast, but here on the West Coast, 710Ms were selling between $12-$14K (bone stock off the boat) to around $16 to $18K for a nicely modded truck a couple of years ago. Now I regularly see them for $10K or less for a stock truck and around $12-$14K for a nicely modded one.pinztrek wrote:Not sure I'd say that 710 prices have "tanked", they are still in the same rough range.pinzwheeling wrote: 712 prices of late have jumped considerably; ironically, 710 prices have tanked.
Considering he only payed $15k for it. Even if he sold it for $50k it would be better than the average 11% gains in the stock market!David Dunn wrote:
Oh, btw, the $75k is a buy it now, I have no idea what his reserve price is, but problably close to $60k..... a previous auction did get it up over $50k without hitting reserve.
So if you found a '55 T Bird in a barn somewhere for $200... you'd offer it for sale for $400.Considering he only payed $15k for it. Even if he sold it for $50k it would be better than the average 11% gains in the stock market!
In the Big city, they get more than $2 per hour ... even for incompetent help.I sure would like to see his build sheet on this pinz considering it still has the stock inside colors. I know how many hours it took me to take my pinz apart and paint it inside and out and still can't see $75k.
Those trucks were being imported new 20 years ago, and they weren't road registerable then. And the used imported ones would be the same, unless someone got the them DOT approved, and the engine certified by the EPA for highway use (which I doubt). I was looking at these trucks in the early 90's. They were being imported then for use at schools, parks and shopping malls for all types of " on property" maintenence and security uses. The engines were ceritified for off highway use only.By the way mini trucks are legal here now. As there importing mini trucks newer than twenty five years
So you're saying he payed less than what scott imported it for?Quote:

Also, that comment is is an oxymoron for logic... I imported the Supacat legally, it still isn't road registerable! The " Special Equipment" license it has allows it for "inconsequential" contact on the road. Those mini trucks fall into the same catagory. States are "suppose to" follow federal guidelines, at the least, for vehicle licensing
