Unibodies aren’t that rare. But I have a soft place in my heart for them. I believe yours was a ‘63 as that was the last year Ford made them (61-63 and it was optional). The short-bed trucks look fantastic when Restored and hot-rodded.

Some mysterious appreciation is going on in the truck market. In 2007, I’d say you were smoking something if you thought a super clean truck of this age, stock, was worth more than $800, although beating them didn’t lose you much. $200-400 was the normal value of any of these trucks over 20 years old. Somehow they’re…

It's in some terrible mid-range there. Not quite cheap enough to just throw away when it goes pop and not really expensive enough to repair either.

I purchased my first car, a 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo for $1800 five years ago. Yeah, it wasn’t perfect, but it could have been really nice with a little work. Unfortunately, 17 year old me wrecked it a week after I got it. Really wish I had that car now, with the knowledge I’ve gained since then.

A friend had one of these, briefly, in high school. His parents bought it for him as a first car and told him they got him a ‘Vette. After demonstrably proving it could not make it to highway speeds, they traded it for a Mustang. Well, a 78 Mustang II. His parents had a sick sense of humor.

This is the only comment thread that is correct on this issue.

Nope, its a 69.

It’s #Jaloplife, mother fuckers on this site hate them some trucks. Happens every single truck related post.

This is true. Pretty sure that if you have option between a 1k discount vs an extra 1k in trade value, the trade value gets you a better deal w respect to tax.

Came here to say this. If you trade a $20,000 car in on a $30,000 car you only pay $795 in taxes where I live, but if you buy the $30,000 car out right and sell your trade in for $23,000 you get an additional $3,000 but you are paying $2,385 in taxes, so really you are only a few hundred bucks up by selling it your…

had to tilt my head, CP for forced perspective

Because I like oddballs:

That's a meticulously messed up Cherokee Chief.

nice looking international scout you have there.

It’s worth a lot, I dare say.

I know, I can't believe they left the seats on it. Amazing.

Find the longest you can afford. stick ad big a motor the thing can balance on. Add some trim tabs too big for the boat. Profit.

I just sold my '95 4Runner for $4000 with 122,000 miles. It sold 6 hours after listing it on Craigslist. I'm thinking I should have asked for more money. They're pretty popular out here in the Desert West.

I like the new one, but look at the difference in the sheetmetal:glass ratio. I guess that's pretty normal for cars now, but I hate it.

less than $100?? really?? wow, I said CP assuming I’d have to throw another ~$800 in it to get it drivable (I live in Austin).
