short hijack

Post by Dust »

Ran across a 78 Step 4x4 local walked around it, all there, fairly straight, no info on the engine as the hood was locked with the factory hood lock. What is it worth down there with as a (?)351M and the C6 otherwise stock?

Done with the hijack :lol:

Worth depends on the rust of course & then the buyer.

78's have to be smogged in most areas down here & command a little less $$ due to that.

I've gotten 6 or 7 of the 7 or 8 of these trucks I've owned for under $1k. Most were in the $350-500 range.

...looks like little rust, clean straight may be fresh paint decent interior looks like a DD.

Around here the step is a fairly rare truck where I can get a short bed 4x4 for a grand or less, the step in this condition will be $5000 down; but an 80-up Bronco same condition is $1000 or less :lol:

Tony's photo of Old Baja from the NORRA race looks great. You can get an idea of the new glass that Auotfab installed.

Thanks Tony
