Hello,
I've been looking for a Series II/IIA to be a daily driver/rolling resto.... Found one in New England that I really like, trying to see if it's priced in the ballpark. I know this is hard without looking at it - I do understand that - just trying to not to make a massive mistake! Wanted to see if I could get an idea of what any of you would think it may be worth with the following information. If anyone has more questions please let me know.
1960 Series II 88 panel truck, not station wagon. Tailgate/Liftgate orig in nice shape. Top in good shape.
Galv frame - looks like maybe an older restoration? Has Parabolic suspension.
Bulkhead original and very good, no rust
Couple 'deck of card' sized patches/repairs needed on floorboards, otherwise good condition
Turner high compression engine installed 4-5 years ago - waiting for receipts to verify that. Still negative ground. Hi torque starter installed 2014. Runs really smooth.
Paint decent, one front fender dented, one rear quarter with a small crack/dent, interior ok, aftermarket bucket seats ripped, etc, but paint is decent. Safari rack.
Trans / Transfer case good. Trans, clutch rebuilt 2014 as well as some other wheel seals, etc. No overdrive.
Everything seems to work, gauges, lights, etc.
They're asking $18k
I greatly appreciate you taking the time - any help would be awesome!!! Thanks, Mike
