Considering a crew cab purchase! Questions on value and idea
Posted: Fri Dec 22, 2017 11:36 pm
Ok i am considering buying this 65 crew power wagon. Waiting for the seller to get a title. Its originally a 318 4 speed rig. Been sitting since 1992. Seller says rust free and has house paint on it. Now has a running 413 in it since 1992 purchase by seller.
Here is my question. I have been buying trucks for parts and looking for a crew cab to put on a 5.7 Hemi platform, meaning any cab and mis match parts. I think this one is too nice for that and I am going to try and pick up another possible crew body no chassis if another lead works out. That said im really drooling over the possibilities of building this but it was not in my original intentions. Seller wants 5K for it and i have a guy who has 906 heads, water pump, intake, maybe some C body HP manifolds to change out the top end. I would be into this thing for over 6K at that point and I am currently building a home out of pocket and may need the funds this summer. Im selling a couple of other projects so i can keep this beast. Im still going to grab the other crew body as its cheap compared to this for a later build on modern gear.
If i need to move a rig like this, is $6500 to much to be into it.? Im an old muscle car guy and rememver when trucks were cheap. This crew matches my short bed w200 so like all of us I have th se dreams. If i cant get that out of it, i may pass to make sure i dont short myself when i do my next phase on my home. Just asking some legit questions as im not up on value of thse rigs as i should be.
