You wd be interested in factory until you had to pay for it. It would be $200k
That pickup in the pic looked pretty original to me; just because it has a lift kit and big tires doesn't make it a kids pickup.
Uh...no...its 10 to 15k at most.
See: Sidney area auction by Resource Auction. Two extremely low use, factory GM square bodies, a dually and a 3+3. Fire departments rigs. Always inside.
By factory I mean 1985, not 2025. In 1985 the big three actually built vehicles to last* and actually cared and took pride in what they made*.
*Chrysler and AMC excluded. One was bankrupt and the other, as I quote the recent documentary, "was built by drunks".
Lift kit=higher ride=worse handling and harder to access. Want proof? They bolted a ladder to the side, that's not a 1980s accessory either as you put that long of one on a factory vehicle it would be on the ground.
Lift kit=factory suspension gone=usually not easily reversible modifications and terrible ride quality.
Lift kit=drivetrain modifications.
Big mud tires=poor handling and life in all conditions. Terrible grip on all surfaces, aside from mud which we don't currently have, and terrible life. Also reduced drivetrain life as well.
All equal a toy, which is what it is the way it is set up.
I want a pickup to work and drive daily, not a expensive toy. Which is why we still have the factory square bodies and a bunch of other "old" vehicles to you.
Calling this original is like calling a 2024 model old. Then again to you it may be. |
Hope this is not correct, but fear it is.
