Fair price for '68 crew cab W200 for sale
Hi. I am currently looking at buying a '68 W200 PW, crew-bad, short fleetside bed. California truck with factory air conditioning. It has the 383 with a four-speed behind it.This truck has zero rust that i can see, is super straight, original red paint with white top is faded. owner has gone though it mechanically and put new brakes, power steering, new bearings, brake hoses, electronic ignition, tires, etc. The interior is pretty good except for a shredded front seat. I am trying to get an idea of what it's worth. I haven't driven it yet, but owner says it drives fine, and it runs good. So what's it worth?????? anything i should look out for in these trucks? I really dig the crew-cabs. Thanks

Hey Neil, If your'e like me you want evrything for next to nothing! I can't really tell what a vehicle is "worth" it's more like what is it worth to you and how much do you want to spend? Oh yeah, and how long will you wait for it to not sell so you can get it for less! Happy hunting

id say with a solid body, complete truck, its a power wagon crew cab, it has a big block and air, and it runs and drives well, i wouldnt sell it for any less then 2500, if a saw the truck in person, it may be more, but sight unseen, 2500 sounds like a minumum.

The guy I bought my PW from wanted 1500 firm. 383, straight body, very little rust, but it needed a complete brake overhaul and clutch master and slave cyl rebuild and replacement. Plus the engine hadn't been started in over 10 yrs.
Well, I firmly wanted the truck and worked out a cash/barter deal. I gave him 300 cash, a cord of oak worth 200$ and I trimmed a tree (the estamate the tree trimmers gave him was 800$ and that was with three guys) that nearly took my life on several occasions. I literaly put my life on a limb to get this truck. From your discription, I would'nt let this one get away. So it's kinda like Hippy Dave said, it's worth what your willing to spend to get.
Good luck... John

i stole my 69 d200 crew at $3500. she is totally rust free, no dents, paints good, interior is almost perfect, motor has been rebuilt, it has a/c and cruise control, i bought it from the original owner who had garage kept the truck its whole life. i would have given 2 or 3 times as much for a truck this clean. and i wouldnt let it go for less the $12k. the way i look at buying these trucks is simple, pick any year make or model truck, and then figure out what it would be worth in the same condition. these trucks are hard to judge as far as value, some guys know what they got, others, like my guy, just see it as an old truck that aint worth much. this guy even made the comment that he had paid $2700 for the truck brand new of the showroom floor, drove it for over 30 years, and still sold it for a profit. so he thought he had made a good deal. i wonder if he even did any research on the value of such a clean crew cab.
